So I just saw this, and thought I'd share an amusing CMoS story.<br /><br />A few years ago, when I still worked in the office, we got a new marketing director. My first real encounter with him was when he came over to discuss some ad copy he had written and I had edited.<br /><br />Him: "You put serial commas in my copy."<br />Me: "Yep, we use the serial comma in all our printed materials."<br />Him: "Well, don't. I go by the Chicago Manual, and Strunk and White."<br />Me: (glancing at copies of both books on my desk) "Umm..."<br />::awkward pause::<br />Him: (finally) "Well, just take them out."<br /><br />I didn't take them out. And he never bothered me about them again.Jon Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10802114562375996705noreply@blogger.com
