- Abbreviate and capitalize titles before names:
Never abbreviate president, either before or after a name.
- Do not abbreivate United States and United Nations when uses as nouns. However, you should abbreviate them when they are used as modifiers and as parts of military titles. For example, U.S. Ambassador, U.N. General Assembly
- There is no comma after a person's name and any Roman numerals, Jr. or Sr. that may follow. For instance it is Martin Luther King Jr.
- Dimensions: Use figures and spell out inches, feet, yards etc. to indicate depth, height,length and width. He is 5 feet 6 inches tall. the 5-foot 6-inches tall man.
- Toward, forward, backward, upward and downward do NOT end in S.
- It's Daylight Saving Time -- NOT savings
- URLS of websites should be the full URL as it appears on your Internet browser. For example: do NOT write googld.com/news/ Do write http://www.google.com/news/.
