A writer’s dream come true
To me, the granddaddy of all stylebooks is the Chicago Manual of Style. Nowadays, like the AP Stylebook, it has an online forum for questions and answers. Things not yet covered in the book or online version, or questions from folks who need clarification. (Because it sure can be obtuse sometimes, especially when you don’t know exactly how to define what you’re looking for.)
Not glamorous really. But to those of us who, like me, just really enjoy our language and words, and who enjoy playing around with how to express it in writing, it’s fun to browse (or thumb) through Chicago.
To keep up to date on the official rules of our language. And to better know exactly how and when to break ‘em!
