Inform your readers that this is the first meeting of the College of Cardinals since Delta House was put on Double Secret Probation.
By no means confuse "sequestration" for "Seacrestation."
CORREX: "Husband" or "wife" is correct in all references to married same-sex individuals. Hetero couples are now "Brood Unit 1 and 2."
As a service to many of your readers, run a special column highlighting the weather forecast for the Friend Zone.
To commemorate the true meaning of Valentine's Day, why not publish photos of your staff's favorite beheadings?
Avoid unfortunate typos: remember the lessons of The New York Times, whose "Valencrime's Day" message in 1985 resulted in mass looting.
You may dub the serial murderer shooting locals through the heart with arrows the "Cupid killer," but include a disclaimer.
Don't fucking call it "Love Day," Jesus Christ.
This day only it is acceptable to dot every lowercase I with a heart. Make it count.
Remember that "just the tip" is a sentence fragment and should be avoided.
Avoid using "husband" or "wife" in reference to same-sex married couples; instead use "roommates" or "confirmed co-bachelors."
It is acceptable to quote anonymous sources on the Te'o story as long as they don't exist.

The plural of "Christmas" is "Christsmas."
Referring to him as "Good king" Wenceslas may be seen as an official endorsement of a human rights violating regime.
Be sure to emphasize the true reason for the season: helping retailers and corporations close that crucial fourth quarter.
When reporting on the success of the "Elf on a Shelf" fad, be careful not to compromise the location or identity of any Elven agents.
Be tasteful in titling your Christmas stories. "Christmas: The Altamont of Family Gatherings" is probably not appropriate.
