Useful Resources

My background is in user assistance and documentation that uses plain language and accessibility. Here are some guides I use when I have a question.

Style guides

I generally follow Microsoft Writing Style Guide. I use this for computer, interface, and software terms, unless otherwise noted. The other important resource I use are:

• The Chicago Manual of Style, 18th ed.
• Plain Language Action and Information Network
• Diversity Style Guide

I just found this site, The Punctuation Guide , for all things punctuation.
