    Just because nobody spells lede right doesn’t mean a comment with the right spelling is intentionally professionalized, lol.

        I was making a joke that what you picked up on as linked-in like was their correct spelling of lede. Most people write “lead,” but referring specifically to newspaper articles (not investigations), it’s “lede.”

          Oh! Too early for me haha, I misread your comment (still woulda missed the joke, honestly)

          For me it’s the phrasing more than anything
