Having illiterate people copy-editing at Newsweek is a bold move.
What do you mean?

I've got a bit of a MonthSchlong
What a weird thing to take issue with. Even if you were right, at worst they would've made a single typo by missing one space or hyphen. The horror!
But you're not even right. Monthslong is an actual word.
This account makes so many nitpicky and/or wrong grammar "corrections" on here that I actually recognize the username. Grammar nazis really piss me off, because it's mostly about feeling superior and it's often rooted in classism or racism, even if unconsciously. I should know, I used to be like that when I was a kid.
It's a real word, but, admittedly, it's not in the OED, which puts it under suspicion.
