History Magazine / TheNewYorker

* AntiquatedLinguistics: In addition to being sticklers for [[GrammarNazi grammar]] and omitting needless verbiage, the magazine's copy-editing department is known for their old-fashioned stylistic choices, like spelling out all numbers in full no matter how convoluted they are, "closed" punctuation (i.e. using way more commas and periods than what is probably strictly necessary), hyphenating words that have long dropped the hyphen in common usage (e.g. "to-day" and "teen-ager"), using old spellings of words that are almost never used (e.g. "focussed" instead of "focused") and [[PunctuationShaker using a diaeresis]] instead of a hyphen (e.g. "coöperate", instead of "co-operate" or "cooperate").

* BigApplesauce: One of the major promoters of the trope.

* CausticCritic: Many of the magazine's arts critics were of this type, including possibly the most caustic of them all, Creator/PaulineKael.
