case what is wrong. All of the most frequent punctuation
mistakes are treated in this way.
The punctuation described here is the style which is currently the norm in Britain and the Commonwealth. Standard
American usage differs in a few respects; in these cases,
American usage is also described, but examples of specifically American punctuation are always marked asfollows:

of contractions and abbreviations and of diacritics. The last
chapter goes on to explain the proper way to handle titles,
footnotes, references and bibliographies,...
