You break my heart.

hm, I wonder what the AP style guide has to say about that?

Erin:

I asked our copy chief, and she says there is no AP precedent for cheesesteak. But I will seriously fight anyone claiming it’s two words to the death on this. IT’S ONE WORD!

How about the new gophila.com commercial talking about steak and cheese? Who screwed up that one?

Hi Cindy:
The line about “steak de cheese” in our new “With Love, Philadelphia XOXO” commercial was a playful nod to how often people compare Philly to a European city. But we quickly learned that it works better in print ads than verbally on the air. So, as not to confuse the fans of the beloved cheesesteak (all one word), you’ll surely hear a new version when you see the commercial on TV.

Cheers!
