So try it. Go out your door, stop the first 20 or 30 people you
encounter, and ask them what they use when they write.
While you're at it, ask them if they care what the Chicago Manual of
Style says. Mind you, I have one and I use it, but I remain aware of
the fact that hardly anyone who reads what I write gives a damn.
