Oh no you didn't!

This is the response of jilted ex-girlfriends, former roommates, ex-employees and others who have suffered the indignity of being "unfriended". With so much of our lives and personal relationships taking place online, the "unfriending" is almost as hurtful as the break-up...sometimes moreso, thanks to its passive-aggressiveness.

And yes, "unfriend" is the correct term for that action, at least according to the AP, which has expanded its style guide to include 42 new rules for social media. Among the new rules are the change from "Web site" to "website" as the proper reference for an online destination and asserting that "fan", "friend" and "follow" can be used both as nouns and as verbs.

If your sore thumbs and reflex-like full body twitch toward your "smart phone" (which is now officially two words, rather than a compound word) every time you hear something funny didnt clue you in, it's now official: social media is here to stay.

Check out the new 2010 AP Stylebook for the new rules as well as explanations of acronyms and jargon that have popped up with the proliferation of social media. And learn that "POS" no longer has anything to do with your 1986 Buick Le Sabre, with the drooping ceiling, duct taped door panels and trunk that latches with a bungee cord.
