They would have made the same mistake regardless. There is no chance it would have read "Connecticut" in that headline, if thats what you're looking for

Washington Post can't even figure it out.

The Post has been using "U-Conn" for decades. They are the only ones I'm aware of that does so.

U-Conn was in the AP style guide for years. Every other year someone has to whine about it. It's like clockwork.

Bingo.

The Washington Post is about the last Stylebook holdout using U-Conn.

Back in the day, I used to have arguments with the people from Scout because they refused to put "UConn" into the syndication system under the mistaken belief that it violated the Stylebook.
