<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;color:black">Just another aspect of the discussion. At one level, I would agree that a uniform style across the board and across the pond could be the best possible solution to the various aggravations cause
trauma for writers, editors, and readers. However, the word "uniform" itself indicates that variety would be frowned upon—neither language itself nor formatting conventions are stable. Further, with regard to formatting, there isn't really a best style. Once
one moves into the placement of punctuation marks in relation to quotation marks (UK vs. US), or the em-dash and en-dash (totally house style), or the depth of the indentation of long quotations, or whether to hyphenate, or whether to use one or two spaces,
aesthetics take precedence over strict rules. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">Diana, I’ll give you the inside scoop on publishing companies and their editors. When I arrived at my current position, I cared about every comma,
apostrophe and dash, be it an n-dash, an m-dash or a hyphen. There were differences in the usage and I wanted to adhere to the rules - not that I was a prescriptivist, mind you - but I simply wanted to do things correctly and in a unified manner. It turns
out that when I asked the experienced, highly respected author of the company’s style sheet which dash should be used where, he said, “Relax, it’s just a horizontal line. Nobody cares.”
</span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">The readers, it turns out, “didn’t care” because they never complained to us formally about any abuses of punctuation. So if no one complains,
you can’t be doing anything wrong, right? </span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">However, when I was in school, I paid attention to these things from an early age and thought other pupils using our textbooks might notice the
difference between random punctuation marks and those that seem to be used systematically. I am fully aware that standards change over the years (the interest in placing a comma before the final “and” in a series seems to wax and wane along with skirt length,
for example) and am able to accept such changes. When you are working in a multilingual setting, and editors with backgrounds in British and American English who have been living in Germany for 20 years sit down at a table and try to set these rules in stone,
it is difficult. The difficulty lies partly in the fact that we have read so many different publications during our studies and professional lives - encyclopedias and dictionaries from various centuries, magazines, newspapers, books, websites and textbooks
(all with their own country of origin and printing, their own style sheets and editors or obvious lack of them) - that we begin to question what is indeed correct. We all had English teachers throughout our schooling who categorized gross errors according
to their own educational backgrounds. And so they - and we - perpetuate stylistic myths and there is no one authority to answer all our questions. William Safire did it for years (and I loved his columns!), but I know of no one in the digital age who has offered
his or her services as he did. Any takers?</span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
