The OWL at Purdue <http://owl.english.purdue.edu/> will answer questions 
from the public submitted via email concerning English style guides, 
plus several other English or writing matters. I never used it myself, 
but I refer some foreign graduate students (for whom I copyedit their 
dissertations or theses) to seek help there from time to time.
