This month’s workout, “Word Usage, Part 4,” centers on the usage list under paragraph 5.250 in CMOS 17. Today we focus on words beginning with the letter h. Writing and editing are more efficient when you never have to look up harken or dither over hangar versus hanger.
This month’s workout, “Abbreviation of Names and Titles,” centers on CMOS 17, paragraphs 10.11–27. Advanced editors might tackle the questions cold; learners can study that section of the Manual before answering.
This month’s workout, “Plurals,” centers on CMOS 17, paragraphs 7.5–15. Advanced editors might tackle the questions cold; learners can study that section of the Manual before answering.
This month’s workout, “Hyphens, Part 2,” centers on CMOS 17, paragraph 7.89 (our famous hyphenation table), and in particular section 2, “Compounds according to Parts of Speech.”
This month’s workout, “Hyphens, Part 1,” centers on CMOS 17, paragraph 7.89, section 1, of our famous hyphenation table, “Compounds according to Category.” We’re calling this workout “part 1” because hyphens are a vast topic, destined to confound us in many ways and certainly worth a series of workouts.
This month’s workout, “Word Usage, Part 3,” again centers on the usage list under paragraph 5.250 of CMOS 17. Writing and editing are more efficient when you never have to look up gauntlet or dither over farther versus further.
This month’s workout centers on paragraphs 6.9–11 of CMOS 17, “Punctuation in Relation to Closing Quotation Marks.” Advanced editors might tackle the questions cold; learners can study the relevant paragraphs of the Manual before answering the questions.
This month’s workout centers on paragraphs 3.81–88 of CMOS 17, “Editing Tables.” Advanced editors might tackle the questions cold; learners can study he relevant section in CMOS before answering the questions.
This month’s workout centers on paragraph 13.7 of CMOS 17, “Permissible Changes to Punctuation, Capitalization, and Spelling.”
Do you know Chicago style for number ranges? Is it 142–3, 142–43, or 142–143? This month’s workout, “Inclusive Numbers,” covers paragraphs 9.60–64 in CMOS 17.
