* 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, 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").

However, despite these characteristics it is read widely by non-New Yorkers, and is recognized throughout the United States as a kind of shorthand signifier of metropolitan and urbane sensibilities, similar to broadcasting's Creator/{{NPR}} and Creator/{{PBS}}.
