Style
Capitalization
- When referring to The Savvy Newcomer, The Chronicle, or The ATA Chronicle, use upper case and italics. Also uppercase the following terms: ATA, American Translators Association, Association (when referring to ATA), ATA Annual Conference, ATA Board, and ATA Board of Directors.
- 只有在用作正式标题的一部分时，才使用大写的“分部”、“委员会”和“分会”.g. “Spanish Language Division”; “the division’s recent activities include…”). 只有在名称之前才使用大写的ATA位置标题(例如.g. “President-Elect Corinne McKay”; “the president-elect delivered her speech”).
- 除非指的是学位的具体名称，否则不要将学位大写.g. “Master of Science in Underwater Basket Weaving”; “他在弗吉尼亚理工大学获得硕士学位”).
- 只有当职衔出现在一个人的名字前面时，职衔才大写.g. “Wizarding Manager Jamie Hartz”; “the wizarding manager instructed the students…”).
Punctuation
- 在连接一个系列中最后两个条目的连词前加逗号.
Lions, tigers, and bears—oh my!
- When using a dash in place of commas, parentheses, or colons, 使用em - dash (ctrl+alt+减号)而不是en - dash (ctrl+减号).
猫头鹰的眼睛几乎是不动的，必须转动它们的头才能看到东西.

- Place exclamation points and question marks inside 只有当它们是被引用事物的一部分时，才使用结束引号.

Readability
- Avoid large paragraphs, breaking the text up into smaller paragraphs, bulleted lists, or numbered lists whenever possible. Block quotes, tables, and short paragraphs with specific, 清晰的标题也可以帮助你更有效地组织你的写作.
- Use the "Bottom Line Up Front" method for writing paragraphs; this means that the most important information should be at the start of the paragraph, 因为读者可能会跳过你的段落的其余部分，因为网上的注意力持续时间很短.
- Use bold and italics to emphasize key words and ideas; introduce a bulleted list; introduce new terms; and give short examples. Be consistent with your use of these font formats. 除了表示超链接外，不要在文本中添加下划线.
- 避免使用连句和断句(除非文章的性质要求使用后者).
- When using abbreviations, 第一次使用的时候一定要拼出完整的术语, 后接在括号内的首字母缩写或缩写(e.g. “The Savvy Newcomer (TSN)”). 在随后出现的术语中，使用首字母缩略词. 常用的首字母缩略词如FBI、ATA、GPS等不需要拼写出来.
General
- Italicize all blog names.
- 只要不过度使用，且符合文章风格，缩略形式是可以接受的.
- 为了建立可信度和帮助读者了解更多，超链接是可以接受的，甚至是鼓励的. 确保在文本中包含链接，并将在链接中找到的内容描述作为文本(e).g. 关于树懒的更多信息也可以在 this National Geographic article."
- Spell out numbers from one to ten; for all other numbers, use the numerical iteration.
He ate four pizzas.
She ate 26 pizzas.
- 使用美式英语惯例，除非帖子是一个已经使用英式或其他英语惯例的博客. 特邀作者被要求用美式英语拼写和语法(如:英语)编写新内容.g. "socialize" rather than "socialise"); merriam-webster.com is used for spelling references.
- 尽可能使用主动语态，而不是被动语态.
