> I do reluctantly conform to AP style in certain contexts

Why AP style - written specifically for journalists - instead of all the other styles such as APA, Chicago, etc. etc.?



The contexts are blog posts and press releases often targeted at journalists, who will often copy-paste sections, so standard company stye is to write in a way that conforms to what they use so they don't need to fix it up.

Otherwise, I/we use Chicago and Oxford comma.


That makes sense.
