	What Is MLA Style?
		For an authoritative explanation of MLA style, see the MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers (for high school and undergraduate college students) and the MLA Style Manual and Guide to Scholarly Publishing (for graduate students, scholars, and professional writers).
		The style recommended by the association for preparing scholarly manuscripts and student research papers concerns itself with the mechanics of writing, such as punctuation, quotation, and documentation of sources.
		MLA style is commonly followed not only in the United States but in Canada and other countries as well; Japanese translations of the MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers appeared in 1980, 1984, and 1988, and a Chinese translation was published in 1990.

	Developing a Departmental Style Guide (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Style guides often specify which option to use when several options exist, and they include items that are specific to the company or industry and items for which a "standard" or example does not exist through commercial style guides.
		As you develop a style guide, keep in mind that the specific content in the style guide is not usually a matter of "correct" or "incorrect" grammar or style; instead, it's a compilation of decisions that you, your employer, or client have made from among the many possibilities.
		Style guides can be of any length and level of detail; however, they should exclude process and design information, tutorials, and decision rationale that are best included in documents separate from the style guide.

	The Literary Encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: )
		This guide differs from most others in that it cites many examples of current bad practice in English-speaking countries and sets out to explain why they are wrong and how they can be corrected.
		Sense can also be a good guide: hyphenation is a way of indicating to the reader that the first term in the sequence is there to modify what comes after it, rather than meaning to stand on its own feet.
		Guiding principle: the quotation should always be inserted without violence to the ordinary rules of punctuation and grammar.

	FurnitureFind - Furniture Style Guide
		Actually a broad range of styles appearing during this time period, furniture-makers often use this style name as a catch-all for the time period.
		Juxtaposition of opposing elements is common to this style – for example, rare and expensive jade and inexpensive bakelite.
		Casual furniture speaks to a love of classic style elements – and still believing that style can be comfortable without being just "trendy." More informal than a traditionally style room, people who enjoy the casual look want a room that will stand up to today's families and their active lifestyle.

		In this case, the guide was to be used by subsidiary departments and divisions of the parent organization to setup their own websites.

	Tango Icon Theme Guidelines - Tango Desktop Project
		A user running a multiplatform application should not have the impression that the look is unpolished and inconsistent with what he or she is used to.
		In terms of highlights, the theme inherits the style of Firefox/Thunderbird Pinstripe/Winstripe designed by Kevin Gerich and Stephen Horlander (Pinstripe, Winstripe) which shift away from reality by creating a second inner outline of the object.
		Various elements have been picked from existing icon styles: Similar perspective as GNOME icons, a colored object stroke from KDE, an Aqua-like highlight influenced by Mac OS X, and edge highlights and overall lightness from the Firefox Pinstripe theme.

	A Guide for Writing Research Papers, APA-Style
		This guide is based on recommendations of the fifth edition of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association published by the American Psychological Association (2001).
		If online guides like this one — and other summaries of APA style in composition textbooks, etc. — do not suffice, students should purchase the APA Publication Manual for their own use (approximately $27 for the recommended spiral-bound edition) or borrow it from a library.
		We do recommend, however, Capital's Guide to Grammar and Writing, which provides hundreds of digital handouts about grammar and style, over 170 computer-graded quizzes, guidance on essay writing, and a place to ask questions about grammar and writing.

		Editorial style includes the consistent use of spelling, punctuation, capitalization, and abbreviations, as well as the selection of headings and the use of numbers.
		The university uses The Chicago Manual of Style (15th edition), Associated Press Stylebook and Libel Manual, and Webster's Third New International Dictionary (and its chief abridgment, Merriam Webster's Collegiate Dictionary, 11th edition) as primary sources.
