spaces between sentences<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

After the punctuation at the end of a sentence, period, question mark, etc., there should be one space, not two, before the first word of the next sentence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

spelling, misc.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Advisor<\/p>\n\n\n\n

St. Paul (use Saint only in postal addresses)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plural of a single letter: the three Rs<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plural of multiple letters ABCs<\/p>\n\n\n\n

internet (lowercase)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

sports<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Use en dashes, not hyphens, in scores: Macalester defeated St. Olaf 49\u20136.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In describing events that include distance, add a hyphen for compound adjectives (the men\u2019s 100-meter dash), but not when the phrase is used as a noun (He ran the 100 meters). Note, too, that meter (or yard) is singular in the former instance, plural in the latter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lowercase names of individual sports: rugby, men\u2019s cross-country, volleyball.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

staff, staff members<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

See faculty\/staff.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

state names<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

See also cities, US, and cities, international.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spell out in text. Use two-letter postal abbreviations (no periods) only in addresses, with zip codes. But use AP stylebook abbreviations for lists and where space is limited. (See appendix<\/a>.) Retain commas in addresses, especially after cities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is no need to use state names with the cities listed in the Associated Press Stylebook under \u201cDatelines\u201d (See cities<\/a>). To this list, we add St. Paul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

study away<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Use instead of study abroad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do not capitalize or hyphenate, even when used as a modifier: Macalester maintains a list of approved study away programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Capitalize the formal Macalester department: Center for Study Away.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
