Two questions: 1. Steampunk is mainstream, now? Weird. 2. Did the New York Times really just use a numeral “2” in a headline? Wow, maybe txt’ing really is killing the English language.

    AP style of numerals less than 10 is relaxed in headlines because of supposed space limitations in print; but as an excuse online, it’s probably a shovelware of print-to-web workflow.

    For what it’s worth, the title element spells out the word.

    Interesting, Rich. I guess that makes sense (the space-saving thing) — at least in print. Thanks!
