This is an expanded and updated edition of the Guardian stylebook, used by journalists at one of the world's most stylishly written and edited newspapers.
Guardian Style will help you distinguish between so-called rules of grammar that are an aid to good writing and those that you can cheerfully ignore. It?s also a mine of information from the essential to the arcane, from the useful to the things you never realised you needed to know.
The hundreds of new and expanded entries include an authoritative section on editing for the web, where the Guardian has an international readership of millions.
Wise and witty, irreverent and informed, Guardian Style is an indispensable guide to the use of good English.
Expanded and updated from the Electronic Resources section of the Fifth Edition of the Publication Manual, this comprehensive yet succinct style guide in PDF format offers up-to-date information on formatting electronic references in APA style.

Among the new examples are dissertations and theses; bibliographies; curriculum and course material; reference materials, including Wiki; gray literature, such as conference hearings, presentation slides, and policy briefs; general interest media and alternative presses such as audio podcasts; and online communities, such as Weblog posts and video Weblog posts.
