Take that, Chicago Manual of Style

In this corner, wearing an orange dust jacket, the champion, The Chicago Manual of Style, victor of 15 editions.

And in this corner, The Abbeville Manual of Style, the scrappy challenger from The Abbeville Press.

As the bell rings for the latest round, watch how they have been slugging it out.

Many thanks to Austin Allen, a new reader of You Don’t Say, for the tip.
