We embrace innovation. We encourage new forms of communication. We love creativity. We self-publish. Rules are broken...well, not all the rules.
I've been taking a proofreading and copyediting course recently. I'd like to broaden the work I do in that area. Nevertheless, the course has reminded me of all the different style guides and style books I need to study. Rules continue to be made and followed even in these older more established guides, believe it or not.

What style guides do you follow?
