Default Re: Grammer, punctuation and typographical errors.

In the newspaper racket we had a style guide from the Associated Press that we had to follow, and also a local style guide.

Our style guides approached two inches thick. (See? There is the use of the newspaper style in that last sentence. Numerals under 10 were spelled; those 10 and over were to appear in numerals. I have no idea why. I knew at one time, but its not important now.)

Also, I have to look up the use of its and it's every time, except this time.
