Speaking of style, I learned I've been using an incorrect phrase. A NYT copy editor says that "Honing In" is incorrect. According to her the correct usage is - The group is HOMING in on a solution". Although she did admit that honing is used quite a bit at the NYT. Said it comes from homing pigeon enthusiast terminology.

I did not know that.
