[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Way to bury the lead. The asbestos is just one part of the problems laid out in this article. MCPS decided ONE security guard would be suitable for TWO alt schools with some of their most behaviorally challenged students? Are they insane?[/quote] The lead wasn't buried. Asbestos will kill everyone. [/quote] PSA: It’s bury the “lede.”[/quote] Both lede and lead are acceptable. Lede is a journalistic spelling of lead.[/quote] The idiom is in the journalism context and is only spelled “lede.”[/quote] Please shut up: https://proofed.com/writing-tips/idiom-tips-bury-the-lede-or-bury-the-lead/ [QUOTE]Both “bury the lede” and “bury the lead” are acceptable spellings of this phrase.[/QUOTE] https://www.poynter.org/reporting-editing/2019/lead-vs-lede-roy-peter-clark-has-the-definitive-answer-at-last/ [QUOTE]Sitting as I am near a library of about 12,000 journalism books, I decided to re-create Owens’s research — maybe kick it up a notch if I could. His conclusion was that [b]there was “no historic basis for the spelling of a lead as ‘lede.’ ‘Lede’ is an invention of linotype romanticists, not something used in newsrooms of the linotype era.”[/b][/QUOTE][/quote]
