COMM 207: Short list of AP style

Here's a California ag extension style sheet that incorporates most of the main points in the "AP Style Manual." I'm including it here for convenient reference for times you don't have the stylebook with you.

Some entries you may not use too often. For example the one on scientific plant names (alphabetized under "order, family, genus, species, variety") or creating the proper accents in Spanish words (more important in California than perhaps it is in Springfield). But it includes simplified explanations of AP style on bugbears like epipsis marks (which working press usually call "three dots"), gender neutrality, numbers, plurals, telephone numbers and trademarked names.

It's published by the University of California Division of Agriculture and Natural Resources (ANR), a statewide network of researchers and educators.
