  • Regency Society Style A
    Regency Society Style The objective of a style guide is partly to ensure optimal clarity of expression, partly to ensure consistency by recording standard formulations, spellings and other precedents. Its purpose is to is to promote and encourage high standards of writing and is, therefore, prescriptive to a degree. Other style guides are available but this is ours. It will evolve over time and is always open to suggestions for additions, amendment and refinement. For standard spellings consult a dictionary. COMPENDIUM OF STYLE POINTS Cross-referenced terms are shown in blue. A abbreviations are truncated words, contractions words with intermediate letters omitted. Abbreviations were conventionally followed by a full point (min., sec., Corp.), contractions not (Mr, Dr, Ltd, ft, hr, mins). However, the rule is now rarely observed and full points are usually omitted even after abbreviations. The reader will identify a full stop as the end of a sentence and be momentarily disconcerted if it isn't. • Use abbreviations sparingly, especially when there is room to use the full word (ie, avoid St for Street, Corp for Corporation). • Only the most instantly recognisable abbreviations should be used without the term being given in full in the first instance. abbreviations of names of organisations are normally rendered in clustered capitals without full points (eg, BHCC, ESCC, RS). The first occurrence of even a regularly abbreviated name should normally be spelled out in full. (cf, style for acronyms and initials.) accents. See diacritical marks. acronyms, unlike initials, are not normally rendered in capitals, especially when the letters are not the initials of the full name—eg, Nynex, Unesco—and especially when the acronym can be pronounced as a word, eg: Unesco, Oracle, Nynex.

  • Simon Jenkins Is Our New President
    12 news update Issue 2 | Dec 2011 | www.regencysociety.org The Regency Society of Brighton and Hove – registered charity no. 210194 Simon Jenkins is our new president The importance of the architectural heritage of Brighton and Hove has received a significant endorsement, with Sir Simon Jenkins – chairman of the National Trust – accepting the presidency of the Society. He takes up the position on 1 January 2012. “Brighton and Hove comprises the greatest monumental townscape in Britain,” he says. “It is precious and constantly in need of defenders.” Sir Simon, who says he is “delighted and honoured” by his new role, describes himself as “a sometime resident of Brighton” and replaces the Duke of Grafton, who died in April and was known in his younger days as the Duke of Preservation. He is an award-winning journalist and author, with regular columns in both the Guardian and the Evening Standard, who has previously edited both The Times and the Evening Standard. He has also been deputy chairman of English Heritage and a Millennium Commissioner. His books include England’s Thousand Best Churches, England’s Thousand Best Houses and this year’s A Short History of England. “Sir Simon is a perfect fit for the Regency Society,” says Society chair Mary McKean. “He is an active campaigner, a participant in lively debate on key issues in conservation and the built environment and a man who engages with current issues surrounding planning not as a Nimby but with a view to protecting all that is great about Britain.” Policy options for the city If you’re stumped for ideas for Christmas and know somebody with in an interest in Strategic issues facing Brighton and Hove were at the heart of the Regency’s Society’s comments to the city council in response to a consultation on four key architecture and local history, we have the areas of policy where significant changes are proposed.
