<p>Check our guide and word list first, then <em>The Chicago Manual of Style</em>, 17th edition, then <em><a href="https://www.merriam-webster.com">Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary</a></em>. Use your book-specific word list (provided by production) to document style choices that differ or are not covered here (e.g., A.M. or a.m., data center or datacenter, etc.). For questions specific to your book or assignment, please consult with your editor or production editor.

Always follow a person’s preference and note exceptions, if necessary (e.g., if quoting research that is decades old).</p>
