We finally got an official newsroom stylebook, published not in print
but on our SII system, and I eagerly took a look (I’d been here less
than a year). The ‘book contained an entry for “badly decomposed,” noting that would anybody ever describe a dead body as “well decomposed”? The next day, a front-page story told of a woman who had been found dead in her apartment. Her body was — you guessed it — “badly decomposed.” A follow-up story a month later repeated the gaffe.

A good thing her house didn’t burn down — we might have had the cops “sifting through the rubble.“
