|
|
|
|
Jameson: Irish whiskey.
|
|
|
|
Jana?ek, Leoš: note accents.
|
|
|
|
Jap: do not use even in headlines.
|
|
|
|
jargon: the word is often misused as a reproachful description of terms that
|
|
are properly used by experts to achieve precision and brevity. When such terms
|
|
are adopted into newspaper copy, in, for instance, a report on a space flight,
|
|
they must be explained at first mention. They do not need quotation marks. Do
|
|
not confuse jargon with slang, but remember that jargon also means gibberish.
|
|
|
|
Jeep is a trade name for a kind of civilian vehicle and must be capped, but
|
|
jeep (lc) is correct in references to small vehicles used in the Second World
|
|
War. Cross-country vehicle, four-wheeled drive vehicle offer a means of
|
|
escape. ([See Trade names][28]).
|
|
|
|
Jenkins's ear
|
|
|
|
Jesus: it is wrong to think that Christ should always be used. In references,
|
|
capitalise He, Him and His.
|
|
|
|
Jew use only as a noun. Never use Jewess.
|
|
|
|
Jewish holy days: Pesach (Passover), Shavuot (Pentecost), Rosh Hashanah (New
|
|
Year), Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement), Sukkot (Feast of Tabernacles). Shemini
|
|
Atzeret and Simchat Toran are the eight and ninth day of Sukkot.
|
|
|
|
jewellery not jewelry.
|
|
|
|
jibe (not gibe) for sneer. Gybe for the nautical activity.
|
|
|
|
job descriptions: be accurate when describing what somebody does for a living.
|
|
Various people who are professionally untrained sing arias from operas to a
|
|
mass audience. They are not opera singers. They are popular entertainers. Our
|
|
readers know the difference.
|
|
|
|
job titles: Gordon Brown, the Prime Minister, not Prime Minister Gordon Brown.
|
|
The titles of professional posts require the definite article: so it is "John
|
|
Smith, the chairman of Smith", not "John Smith, chairman of Smith".
|
|
|
|
Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore: not John Hopkins.
|
|
|
|
joyrider: not an ideal term for a person who steals a car in order to get a
|
|
thrill from driving it about, but the best anyone has come up with and
|
|
instantly recognisable to the reader. Avoid if possible.
|
|
|
|
judgment (no "e" between the syllables).
|
|
|
|
junk bonds: no hyphen (as City style).
|
|
|
|
just should only be used where it describes a state of righteousness.
|
|
Otherwise use merely, only or simply.
|
|
|
|
just deserts
