Useful Resources
My background is in user assistance and documentation that uses plain language and accessibility. Here are some guides IĀ 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 online site is OK, but try and find the 4th edition of the printed guide.
The other importantĀ resource I use are:
- The Chicago Manual of Style, 16th
ed.
- Plain Language Action and Information Network
- Diversity Style Guide
- The Punctuation Guide
, for all things punctuation.
