    Maybe we can bury the lead a little bit on that title? It feels a bit gratuitous.

        You do it like they did in the actual article. You dont include the quote in the headline and lets people approach the horrible details at their own pace.

        I actually googled it since the last time this came up. Both are acceptable and the lede spelling is so that 19th century typesetters didnt confuse lead with the metall. I am not a journalist and I am not a typesetter so in the same way I don’t use specialist medical language in daily conversation, I will use the normal spelling of lead that makes sense.
