Subject:Re: Do you use the Microsoft MANUAL OF STYLE? From:Christopher Carmichael <chrisc -at- SYNERGYMICRO -dot- COM> Date:Mon, 20 Oct 1997 07:56:09 -0700
I use the MS Manual of Style [hey Bill not the suit, the words!] as a:
a.) reference
b.) source of amusement
It's a good starting point. But as MS tells in the opener [at least the
one I have] it was a collection for their writers, and not intended for
external audiences.
