    TIPS FOR EFFECTIVE PUNCTUATION IN LEGAL WRITING* © 2005 The Writing Center at GULC. All Rights Reserved. Punctuation can be either your friend or your enemy.

However, problematic punctuation will stand out to your reader and ultimately damage your credibility as a writer. The tips below are intended to help you reap the benefits of sophisticated punctuation while avoiding common pitfalls.

  • Characters for Classical Latin
    Characters for Classical Latin David J. Perry version 13, 2 July 2020 Introduction The purpose of this document is to identify all characters of interest to those who work with Classical Latin, no matter how rare. Epigraphers will want many of these, but I want to collect any character that is needed in any context. Those that are already available in Unicode will be so identified; those that may be available can be debated; and those that are clearly absent and should be proposed can be proposed; and those that are so rare as to be unencodable will be known. If you have any suggestions for additional characters or reactions to the suggestions made here, please email me at [email protected] . No matter how rare, let’s get all possible characters on this list. Version 6 of this document has been updated to reflect the many characters of interest to Latinists encoded as of Unicode version 13.0. Characters are indicated by their Unicode value, a hexadecimal number, and their name printed IN SMALL CAPITALS. Unicode values may be preceded by U+ to set them off from surrounding text. Combining diacritics are printed over a dotted cir- cle ◌ to show that they are intended to be used over a base character. For more basic information about Unicode, see the website of The Unicode Consortium, http://www.unicode.org/ or my book cited below. Please note that abbreviations constructed with lines above or through existing let- ters are not considered separate characters except in unusual circumstances, nor are the space-saving ligatures found in Latin inscriptions unless they have a unique grammatical or phonemic function (which they normally don’t).

  • These Guidelines Are Designed to Assist SBL Editors As They Prepare Manuscript Files to Submit for Typesetting
    GUIDELINES FOR EDITORS OF COLLECTED WORKS SOCIETY OF BIBLICAL LITERATURE These guidelines are designed to assist SBL editors as they prepare manuscript files to submit for typesetting. Although the following guidelines do not address every possible question that might arise, and although every manuscript will require some work by the SBL staff, adherence to these guidelines will minimize the delays and added costs that improperly or inadequately edited books inevitably create. We strongly recommend that editors familiarize themselves with these guidelines, which address the most common problems encountered, and to use them throughout their editing work. Please feel free to contact Bob Buller ([email protected]) and Leigh Andersen (leigh.andersen@sbl- site.org) whenever you encounter questions not addressed below. 1. THE GOAL 1.1. Coherence. One mark of a well-edited volume is the level of internal coherence that it evidences. Such coherence begins, of course, with the selection and arrangement of the essays, but it does not end there. Rather, one should seek to enhance the coherence of the volume during the editing process, by striving for internal consistency in conformity to an accepted standard. 1.2. Consistency. Internal consistency enhances the reader’s sense of a volume’s overall coherence. So, for example, careful editors do not allow the same word to be spelled in several different ways (even if both are acceptable) or some essays to use footnotes for bibliographical citations and others to use the author-date system or still others to be lax in citing their references at all. Furthermore, volumes will appear more consistent if the essays evidence a certain degree of structural consistency, such as in the use of subheads (always helpful) and in the way they are labeled (e.g., numbered or unnumbered but not both; using arabic numerals, not arabic in some essays and roman numerals in others).

  • Chapter: 2. En Route Operations
    Chapter 2 En Route Operations Introduction The en route phase of flight is defined as that segment of flight from the termination point of a departure procedure to the origination point of an arrival procedure. The procedures employed in the en route phase of flight are governed by a set of specific flight standards established by 14 CFR [Figure 2-1], FAA Order 8260.3, and related publications. These standards establish courses to be flown, obstacle clearance criteria, minimum altitudes, navigation performance, and communications requirements. 2-1 fly along the centerline when on a Federal airway or, on routes other than Federal airways, along the direct course between NAVAIDs or fixes defining the route. The regulation allows maneuvering to pass well clear of other air traffic or, if in visual meteorogical conditions (VMC), to clear the flightpath both before and during climb or descent. Airways Airway routing occurs along pre-defined pathways called airways. [Figure 2-2] Airways can be thought of as three- dimensional highways for aircraft. In most land areas of the world, aircraft are required to fly airways between the departure and destination airports. The rules governing airway routing, Standard Instrument Departures (SID) and Standard Terminal Arrival (STAR), are published flight procedures that cover altitude, airspeed, and requirements for entering and leaving the airway. Most airways are eight nautical miles (14 kilometers) wide, and the airway Figure 2-1. Code of Federal Regulations, Title 14 Aeronautics and Space. flight levels keep aircraft separated by at least 500 vertical En Route Navigation feet from aircraft on the flight level above and below when operating under VFR.

  • Typography for Scientific and Business Documents
    Version 1.8 Typography for Scientific and Business Documents George Yefchak Agilent Laboratories What’s the Big Deal? This paper is about typography. But first, I digress… inch marks, so you’ll probably get to enter those manually anyway.† Nothing is perfect…) Most of us agree that the use of correct grammar — or at In American English, punctuation marks are usually placed least something approaching it — is important in our printed before closing quotes rather than after them (e.g. She said documents. Of course “printed documents” refers not just to “No!”). But don’t do this if it would confuse the message words printed on paper these days, but also to things distrib- (e.g. Did she say “no!”?). Careful placement of periods and uted by slide and overhead projection, electronic broadcast- commas is particularly important when user input to ing, the web, etc. When we write something down, we computers is described: usually make our words conform to accepted rules of For username, type “john.” Wrong grammar for a selfish reason: we want the reader to think we For username, type “john”. ok know what we’re doing! But grammar has a more fundamen- tal purpose. By following the accepted rules, we help assure For username, type john . Even better, if font usage that the reader understands our message. is explained If you don’t get into the spirit of things, you might look at Dashes typography as just another set of rules to follow. But good The three characters commonly referred to as “dashes” are: typography is important, because it serves the same two purposes as good grammar.
