Am I Out of Style in Every Way?

I've never been accused of being a slave to fashion, a clothes horse or anything like that, and it appears my lack of style may be threatening my writing side.
I knew that it was old (I graduated from Buffalo State College in 1985), but I was taken aback when I checked my well-used, well-worn copy of the AP Stylebook and Libel Manual tonight and saw that it was printed in November 1982.
You might say that there have been a few writing, editing and language changes in the last almost 29 years, so I am placing a new copy of the AP Stylebook and Libel Manual on my birthday gift list.
