Web site of the dayCHICAGO EDITORS ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS ONLINE --
If the new (15th) edition of The Chicago Manual of Style doesn't tell you all you need to know, ask the editors at their new Web site.
They post questions and answers they consider useful. While a few questions indicate people don't bother to open their style books or haven't been paying attention to changes in usage in the last 20 years, others bring up interesting issues.
One new question comes from a corporate communicator who wants to know whether to fight a grating expression, "visibility into," or accept it as a legitimate term.
We say, "Fight, fight, fight!" To find out what Chicago editors think, visit the site. While you're there, sign up for the updates. What we do Learn how Concepts' resources can help you improve your writing, editing and publications. | | |
