Olympic notes
AP style calls for:
Olympics, the Olympic Games, the Winter Olympics, the games
speedskating
bobsledding
luge
ski, skis, skier, skied, skiing, ski jump, ski jumping
And it is Turin or Torino? Most papers seem to be going with Turin (as the city), with some mentions of Torino 2006 as the official name of the event. Plenty of people are explaining their decisions to readers. Here's but a sampling:
Italian Englished [You Don't Say]
Why isn't it Torino? Because it's not Italia [San Jose Mercury News]
Turin or Torino? [Houston Chronicle]
Aahh, Torino: Turin is a turn for the worse [San Francisco Chronicle]
As the world Turins, or Torinos? [Fort Worth Star-Telegram]

It looks as if the lowercase G in "the Games" is a recent rule change for AP. My 2000 edition says to capitalize "the Games." By 2002, the book called for the lowercase.
And thanks for the note about my article. I'm sure the next installment, where I get to talk about copy editing instead of myself, will be more fun.
