General
I like to abuse colons, semi-colons, hyphens, "em dashes" (--), "oxford commas", and parenthesis (...).
That and the "Canadian English Government Standards" that were drilled into me during my schooling. I never really got to learn Practical US based "APA" that everyone expects online.
Its why I don't write much....
I don't have the will or desire --or need-- To study anything else really.
--Or invest in the 250CAD of books i need to do it (Lost all my books and plushies to roaches and bedbugs to roaches in 2017 x.x)
Its why I don't write lol

APA and the composition book are good resources for anyone.

Apparently they have an unofficial "combo", but Id rather have both books separate...
I did it during high school and the few times I wrote professional research reports for uni and experiential work.
Word had a nice MLA styling guide during high school but APA is a bit harder to set up.
These are the rules i learned back in high school with the MLA formatting standard:

Looks to match the American Version... A bit (the "S", "Z" , "proper noun" rule)
Yeah. Hybridization is fun! @.@
