A style guide or style manual is a set of standards for design and writing of documents, either for general use or for a specific publication or organization. Style guides are prevalent for general and specialized use, for the general reading and writing audience, and for students and scholars of the various academic disciplines, medicine, journalism, the law, government, business, and industry. Some style guides focus on graphic design, covering such topics as typography and white space. Web site style guides focus on a publication's visual and technical aspects, prose style, best usage, grammar, punctuation, spelling, and fairness. The strict implementation of style guide regulations provides uniformity in style and formatting of a document.

Many style guides are revised periodically to accommodate changes in conventions and usage. For example, the stylebook of the Associated Press is updated annually.

How can I find out how much internet usage I do in a month?
Q. I'm looking at switching Broadband providers. Right now I've got unlimited usage allowance but am looking at a cheaper provider who offers 1GB usage allowance per month. I don't do a great amount of downloading and uploading but I do sometimes. How can I find out how much I am using on average so I can see if it is worth going for this cheaper 1GB deal?

Are gas prices high to reduce automobile usage?
Q. Just wondering what your thoughts are (for or against) the government increasing gas prices to reduce the usage of automobiles. On one hand it can help the environment, but on the other commuters (like myself) who have no choice but to drive to work, causes a big hole in my wallet at the end of the month. What do you think?

A. The government does not control gas prices. They are up because of commodity speculators are greedy. As for Venezuela, that is a communist regime bent on causing problems for the USA.
