General practices (formerly notes A, D, P, and V)A group of notes, for different types of source material, have been combined here. These practices are followed:
|
Note S (George Bernard Shaws writings)The conventions for drama, described in Note D, are followed, with one addition: In contractions, conventional apostrophes have been added where Shaw tried to abolish them. He was ahead of his own time, and ours; their omission still has a jarring effect on the reader. |
Notes T: (some Terry Pratchett novels)The practices of Note A are followed except:
|
Note x1: God is alive. Magic is afoot. from Leonard Cohens Beautiful LosersCapitalization matches the source. In the book, the passage is one long paragraph; line and stanza breaks are my own additions. |
Note x3: (Cats Cradle, by Kurt Vonnegut)The conventions in Note A are followed, except for several Bokononist passages, which follow the conventions used for verse (Note V). The text used in Bokononist last rites is modified substantially, as noted. |
Note x4: (What Went Wrong in Ohio: The Conyers Report on the 2004 Presidential Election)For ease of reading, I have changed the appearance of various levels of section headings, avoiding bold, italicized, small-caps, and all-caps styles. Otherwise, the conventions in Note A are followed. |
Note x5: (some quotes from the Authorized or King James Version of the Bible)I have added quotation marks and a paragraph structure. Otherwise, the conventions in Note A are followed. |
Note x6: (Galápagos, by Kurt Vonnegut)The conventions in Note A are followed, except that asterisks, used to indicate characters who are about to die, have been omitted as a distraction. |
