SacBee reader wonders if AP stylebook blesses use of "gonna"

Sacramento Bee
A reader's e-mail about the use of "gonna" prompted Armando Acuna to check the Sacramento Bee archives. "By my count, the word 'gonna' was in the paper no fewer than 30 times from Aug. 1 to Thursday, mostly in the features section," he writes. "I would say that's common and it surprised me." AP style prefers "going to" over "gonna," but it makes exceptions for slang spellings in quotations. More editor/ombud columns:
> Bronstein: Newsmen won't reveal sources even if they're jailed (SFC)
> Courant folds Northeast magazine, was published for 24 years (HC)
> Vaden favors minimizing use of conservative/liberal labels (N&O)
> Coyne: About 90% commenting on Salt Lake Trib redesign liked it (SLT)
