The Chicago Manual of Style<\/em><\/a> is the most widely used resource for American English style, grammar, and punctuation. If you’re working on any kind of writing project and need a solid reference that provides answers for how to consistently apply style and grammar, then this is the book for you.<\/p>\n
Often called Chicago <\/em>or CMOS<\/em>, the text was originally published in 1906 with just 200 pages under the lengthy, albeit descriptive title: Manual of Style: Being a compilation of the typographical rules in force at the University of Chicago Press, to which are appended specimens of type in use<\/em>. Yes, that’s a mighty long title.<\/p>\n
111 years later, in September, 2017, the seventeenth edition of The Chicago Manual of Style<\/em> was published with 1,146 pages. It is available in hardcover, and there’s also a handy online edition<\/a> to which you can subscribe, for a fee.<\/p>\n
Chicago<\/em> is so widely used because it can be applied to almost any type of writing. It’s extremely flexible and offers writers options for various formats. Many smaller, niche-oriented style guides are based on the guidelines set forth in Chicago<\/em>, making it the foundation for most writing styles and grammar usages found throughout America.
