Good for the Canadian Press

It's about fucking time. Via Romenesko:

TORONTO — Not too long ago, it was the word that provoked horrified parents to wash their children's mouths out with soap.
But the vulgarity that falls somewhere between "fuchsia'' and "fuddle'' in the dictionary has persevered to earn a grudging public acceptance.
Now the word has earned its way into the newest edition of Canada's venerable editors' handbook, The Canadian Press Caps and Spelling, which is being released Monday.
... In short: avoid it for the most part. And if it must be used because it adds a valuable news element to a story, spell it out. No f and three asterisks. No "eff word.'' No freakings, friggings or firkings either, for that matter.
