Grateful to Have This Handy Writer’s Tool on My Cell Phone
When do you follow The Chicago Manual of Style and the spellings in Merriam–Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary? When do you go with the Associated Press Stylebook and Webster’s New World Dictionary or The Christian Writer’s Manual of Style? Author Kathy Ide answers those questions in her book, Capitalization Dictionary, in a clear, concise manner. The book comes in paperback or Kindle. I highly recommend it for those in the writing field.
