It's all well and good to point to style guides (MMOS, Chicago, AP,
etc.) but I've not ever encountered a marketing department that adhered
to any sort of style guide. We technical writers can prod them in that
direction or pitch a hissy fit when they do something particularly
egregious but it seldom does any good. We just have to choke back the
bile and accept that they're beyond our control.
Best Regards,
Mike
