Garbl's Editorial Style and Usage Manual--abbreviations, capitalization, punctuation, grammar, numbers, spelling, word usage

Do you have writing questions ... about abbreviations, addresses, capitalization, English grammar, internet terminology, numbers, plurals, possessives, punctuation, spelling and word usage?


If so, Garbl's Editorial Style and Usage Manual can help you be clear, concise, correct and consistent in your use of the written word. This free style guide also provides clear alternatives to long, pompous or bureaucratic words and phrases. Use this manual for help in writing articles, books, brochures, correspondence, essays, flyers, newsletters, reports, webpages, and other documents.

Garbl's Editorial Style and Usage Manual mostly follows Associated Press style but also follows the advice of other excellent books on writing--and my selection and interpretation of their guidelines. This guide focuses on U.S. standards for spelling, punctuation, definitions, usage, style and grammar.

I occasionally enhance the style guide with new or improved entries. This manual has grown and changed from print and online versions that talented colleagues and I developed in the 1980s, '90s and early 2000s while working in Seattle/King County, Washington
