Remembering the hours I used to spend as an editor researching bibliographical entries. Makes me giddy to realize the #ChicagoManualofStyle no longer requires a place of publication in book citations.

I just discovered another departure from the 17th edition #ChicagoManualOfStyle. Scholastic Grades! I'm glad this didn't come up for me after the 18th came out. Here's an example:
#CMOS17: I mostly got Cs and Bs in high school.
#CMOS18: In college, I got mostly A's.

I follow the #AMAManualOfStyle for documents I edit these days, but I have years of experience with using the #ChicagoManualOfStyle, so it is one of my favorite style guides. The mug's artwork shows the use of old-fashioned proofreaders' marks (see http://bit.ly/3cU23kJ).
