	p Over the years, i have picked up so many little idiosyncracies in my wielding of the English tongue that i thought it would be prudent to compile them all in one place. I would like to preëmptively apologise to Chaucer, Shakespeare, and Austen for how i have massacred their language…

	+nh2(`1. Spelling`)
	p Use British English spellings and 
		a(href="#americanisms") terminology
		| .
	ul.examples
		li colour; endeavour; flavour; honour; humour; neighbour
		li calibre; centre; litre; sabre; sombre; theatre
		li defence; offence; pretence
		li analogue; catalogue; dialogue; monologue
		li cancelling; jewellery; signalling; travelling; tranquillise
		li ageing; likeable; programme (even for computers); tonne
		li aeroplane; aluminium; (an) annexe; artefact; cheque; chilli; grey; (a) kerb; plough; pyjamas; sceptic
	p Prefer the endings #[i -ise] and #[i -yse] over #[i -ize] and #[i -yze], unless it would be etymologically improper.
	ul.examples
		li analyse; organisation; realise
		li
			em but
		li capsize; resize; seize
	p If a spelling of a Græco-Latinate word with #[i ae] or #[i oe] is still in use, it should generally be spelt with a ligature #[i æ] or #[i œ]. Watch out for false friends: many #[i ae] and #[i oe] words originate from other languages or originally represented two separate syllables.
	ul.examples
		li æon; æsthetics; archæology; chamæleon; encyclopædia; fæces; gynæcology; mediæval; palæontology; pædiatric
		li amœba; cœliac; diarrhœa; homœopathy; manœuvre; œstrogen; phœnix
		li
			em but
		li aeroplane; aerosol; maelstrom; Phoenix, Ariz.; toe
		li economics; enigma; fetus; premium
	p When double #[i ee]s and #[i oo]s mark two separate sounds, the latter letter should be topped with a diæresis.#[+sn(1)]
	ul.examples
		li coöperate; deëmphasise; Laocoön; reëlection; zoölogy
		li
			em also
		li naïveté
		li
			em but
		li continuum; radii; reunion
	+sn(1)
		p Diæreses are common in Dutch, but are kept alive in English only due to the whims of the parochial #[i New Yorker]. To #[a(href="https://www.newyorker.com/culture/culture-desk/the-curse-of-the-diaeresis") quote Mary Norris], a proofreader at the magazine, on why they continue to use the dots:
		blockquote
			p We do change our style from time to time. My predecessor (and the former keeper of the comma shaker) told me that she used to pester the style editor, Hobie Weekes, who had been at the magazine since 1928, to get rid of the diaeresis. She found it fussy. She said that once, in the elevator, he told her he was on the verge of changing that style and would be sending out a memo soon. And then he died.
			p This was in 1978. No one has had the nerve to raise the subject since.
	+nh3(`1.1. Capitalisation`)
	p Prefer “down style” to “up style”; if something can be lowercased, it generally should be.
	ul.examples.twofold
		li the prime minister
		li the internet
		li the world wide web
		li the government
	p Titles (when used in front of names) and proper names of states and countries should be capitalised, however:
	ul.examples
		li The prime minister of Canada met President Biden on Sunday.
		li the United States of America; the People’s Republic of China
		li
			em but
		li the republic of Ireland (the country’s official name is just Ireland)
	p Decapitalise the pronoun #[i i] when not at the start of a sentence.
	ul.examples.twofold
		li I thought i’d left it over there.
	p Acronyms (that is, abbreviations of initial letters pronounced as one word) should be set in title case when referring to proper nouns and organisations, and in lowercase when referring to common nouns and verbs.
	ul.examples
		li Aim; Gestapo; Latex; Nasa; Nato; Ukip; Unicef
		li aids; bios; captcha; covid-19; gif; jpeg; laser; radar; scuba
	p Initialisms (those abbreviations pronounced as the individual letters) should be set in #[+sc('small caps')] unless referring to the names of people or states.
	ul.examples
		li #[+sc('AM')]; #[+sc('BBC')]; #[+sc('CD')]; #[+sc('FBI')]; #[+sc('GCHQ')]; #[+sc('HTML')]; #[+sc('LGBT')]; #[+sc('NAACP')]
		li
			em but
		li IDS; JFK; UK; U.S.; USA
	p Colour terms used in reference to ethnicity — #[i black], #[i brown], #[i white] — should usually be lowercase, but may be capped up if they form part of a compound term.
	ul.examples
		li Rock music has its roots in the syncretism of black and white musical traditions.
		li The indigenous tribes of Papua New Guinea are among the world’s most diverse.
		li
			em This is fine too:
		li Born to a Black Caribbean family, she suspected she also had some Native American ancestry.
	p Use lowercase #[i pagan] in reference to pre-modern polytheistic faiths; use uppercase #[i Pagan] for the modern revival movement. Emperor Julian was a pagan; Gerald Gardner was a Pagan. Similarly, use lowercase #[i witch] for anyone alleged to practise the magic arts; use uppercase #[i Witch] for practitioners of Wicca or the many other related latter-day religious movements.
	+nh3(`1.2 Foreign terms`)
	p Words of foreign origin used in English need not be italicised. The educated reader is surely already familiar with the concepts of, say, a fatwa, or a yeshiva; even for more obscure terms, there is no reason why the Kazakh “besbarmaq” should be treated any differently than the Tudor “syllabub”.
	p This recommendation does not extend to multi-word #[em phrases]. #[i Je ne sais quoi] has long been used in the middle of English sentences, but neither #[i je] nor #[i ne] nor #[i sais] nor #[i quoi] mean anything at all on their own; italicisation ensures the phrase is treated as a single unit, much like the title of a book or film.
	p When romanising foreign-language text, one should generally defer to the recommendations of the #[a(href="https://unstats.un.org/unsd/ungegn/working_groups/wg5.cshtml") United Nations Group of Experts on Geographical Names]. The exception is Ancient Greek, for which this more Latinistic transcription scheme is used:

	+nh3(`1.3 Punctuation`)
	p Use 
		a(href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dash") em and en dashes
		|  for their proper functions, setting off em dashes with a space on either side.#[+sn(2)] Anyone who tells you proper punctuation is a sign a computer wrote something should be whacked in the head with a frying pan.
	+sn(2)
		p Thin spaces are a nice idea, but don’t play nice with justified text on the web.
	ul.examples
		li Excuse me — is this the London–Manchester train?
	p The difference between quote marks, apostrophes, primes, and so on can get confusing quickly. There follows a short guide on their proper use.
	p
		strong “ ”
		| , 
		strong ‘ ’
		| : These are quote marks, used to mark when a person is speaking or for sarcastic effect as ‘scare quotes’. In keeping with British usage, punctuation should be kept outside of the quote marks if it does not form a part of the quote itself.
	ul.examples
		li “Reports have started trickling in of a ‘gigantic explosion’ near Jesmond.”
		li ‘The explosion was an “unexpected consequence of getting a pet cat”, said Aurora after the dust had settled.’
	p In Dutch, use the traditional 
		strong „ ”
		|  form, with the left side aligned beneath the text.
	ul.examples
		li „En hoe moest ík weten dat de kat een blok c4 bij zich had‽”
	p
		strong ’
		| : This is an apostrophe, used to mark possession and contraction.
	ul.examples.twofold
		li Aisha’s car
		li the teachers’ union
		li ’twas 
		li don’t
	p
		strong ʻ ʼ
		| : These are an ʻokina and a saltillo, used to denote glottal stops (like the gap in the middle of #[i uh-oh]) in various foreign language. Some of these languages, most notably Hawaiian, have imported words back into English.
	ul.examples.twofold
		li ʻaʻā
		li Hawaiʻi
		li Oʻahu
		li ‘ō‘ō
	p
		strong ′ ″
		| : These are a prime and a double prime, most often used to notate feet and inches or arcminutes and arcseconds.
	ul.examples
		li I’m 6′ 2″.
		li 49° 12′ 1″ north, 3° 33′ 2″ east
	p
		strong ' "
		| : These are “dumb quotes”, the ones you’ll find on your keyboard. They should only be used in verbatim transcriptions of computer code.
	ul.examples
		li

		| :
	blockquote
		p Always use the word that most exactly means what you wish to say, in utter indifference to how common or familiar that word happens to be. A writer should never fret over what his or her readers may or may not know, and should worry only about underestimating them. As Nabokov said, a good reader always comes prepared with a dictionary and never resents being introduced to a new term. I call this the “ultracrepidarian rule,” simply because an editor once tried unsuccessfully to dissuade me from writing about a certain “polemicist who stumbles across unseen disciplinary boundaries in an ultracrepidarian stupor.” The editor lost that argument because there is absolutely no other word in the English language that so exactly means what I wanted to say.
	p The use of machine-learning tools, such as Chat#[+sc("GPT")] and Stable Diffusion, is generally a sign that the user #[em didn’t really care] about whatever they were using them for. And that’s fine! I use them for lots of things i don’t really care about: rote translations, small decorative elements, so on. But you mustn’t let them supplant your own creativity — that’s how the brain worms get you.
