Message: [QUOTE="Sifaka, post: 4150231, member: 8516"] The [I]AP Stylebook's[/I] purpose is consistency in journalistic expression. It is not the ultimate arbiter of orthographic virtue or excellance. It does not dictate in matters of academic writing. See the [I]Chicago Manual of Style[/I] for that. It is not a general style manual, such as Bryan Garner's. Use AP style where appropriate, but don't project beyond its intended venue. The majority of native English speakers and writers are not American. My ideolect or yours does not dictate right and wrong for all English speakers. I happen to prefer the single l version of [I]canceled.[/I] My wife uses two ls, as one would expect of a British subject. Horses for courses… Passing the soapbox back to you, Golden Husky. We have to do something between game cancellations. Or is that [B]cancelations[/B]? :D [/QUOTE]
