RE: UK Conventions

Christine,

Try one of these:

The Oxford Style Manual -
http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0198605641/026-4793587-3273239

European Union's Translation Service English Style Guide (which uses
British form as its standard) -
http://europa.eu.int/comm/translation/writing/style_guides/english/engli
sh_style_guide_en.htm

The Economist style guide - very good run-through of British usage -
check out the Americanisms section and the online quiz!
http://www.economist.com/research/StyleGuide/ - I highly recommend the
book, too.

'British English A to Zed' by Norman Schur -
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/081604239X/qid=1089841162/
sr=8-2/ref=sr_8_xs_ap_i2_xgl14/002-4297463-3503218?v=glance&s=books&n=50
7846

Good luck!

Hi all,

Is there a UK equivalent to the Chicago Manual of Style (perhaps the
Oxford Style Manual)? The CMS includes several references to "British
Style" usages, but I was wondering if there is an all-inclusive
published list of rules for language use in the UK.
