The above is a good example of what is known as "House Style".retrofuturist wrote:(. . .) I certainly understand the differences between US/UK English.
To be honest, the way I decided which to go with was to chuck each into Google and see which one came up with the most entries. Generally speaking though I prefer UK English and make sure my son knows that the letter 'z' is pronounced 'zed' and not 'zee'.

When I first receive a document or manuscript "officially" as it were, the person or company sending it to me would supply a cover letter highlighting several factors:
*The font and size used throughout;
*Whether the document is ranged Left or Justified;
*Whether it is single- or double-spaced;
*Any other pertinent information (such as the example of "skeptic" given above).
If I have any questions relating to the above, I will clarify with all concerned. I would never take the initiative or proceed without clearance.
So if I do ask something, and it seems like a dumb or obvious question, it's because I really cannot afford to take anything for granted, or as a 'given'.....
Thanks everyone!!
