Description
I think the style guide should specify how to refer to editions. There has been a mix of different approaches (and also in the Edition Guide), and I would prefer to settle on one if possible. Some styles that are being used:
- 2024 edition
- 2024 Edition
- edition 2024
- Edition 2024
- Rust 2024

Research direction
Start by reviewing the existing style guide and the linked Edition Guide, then compare their usage with the five forms listed in the issue. Done means selecting one consistent convention for referring to editions and documenting it in the style guide.
