Basic
Style Tips:
Only one space after a period.
Use an em dash with no spaces (e.g. when separating two
thoughts—use an em dash).
Single space paragraphs.
Use full name in first reference of quote then first
name in future reference (e.g. Mr. Smith says… Bob says…).
Use present tense in quotes (he says vs.
he said).
Italicize titles of books or journals.
If using a quote, the punctuation goes inside the quote marks.
E.g., "This was such a great day." But if setting off a statement, e.g. that's "cool", then the punctuation
goes outside the quote mark.
Again, only one space after a period. I know this is a hard habit to break, but
two spaces after a period make the layout difficult because I have to backspace to remove all the extra spaces.
