Preface
Although our language is fluid, it has certain disciplines that constitute an essential part of that
language. These disciplines—spelling, grammar, and punctuation—are an essential part of our
language, allowing exactness in communication. The imprecise use of words and misplaced
punctuation can alter the meaning of a sentence. While this style guide may not convert
everyone to the AFJL style, it will serve as a base for establishing clarity and consistency, both
of which are key to effective communication.
We have included ten sections to assist both the reader and the contributor. The first section
is on punctuation, which allows a thought to be stated more clearly and tells the reader how to
read a sentence. Punctuation performs the same function as inflection, pauses, and emphasis
do in speaking.
The second section, capitalization, should assist in determining whether to capitalize a word or
not. Words may be capitalized according to use; however, a word incorrectly capitalized can
cause inconsistencies within a publication and confuse the reader. Likewise, when too many
words are capitalized, they lose their importance and no longer attract attention. Therefore, we
have chosen specific capitalization requirements for words frequently used in AFJL publications.
A section on compounding is included since there seem to be to be three stages in the devel-
opment of compounds. At first the components are written separately. Next they are united by
a hyphen, seemingly preparatory for the next stage. When the significance and accent of these
compounds become common, they lose the hyphen and one word is born. We have included
examples based on the rules for compounding found in this section.
The section on the use of numerals is based on the principle that numbers in figures are easier
to understand than in words. However, some of the rules are based simply on typographic
appearance.
A section on abbreviations and acronyms is included since they can save space and avoid
distracting the reader by use of repetitious words or phrases. Because acronyms come and go,
they must be spelled out the first time for the benefit of future readers.
The English language has many words that sound alike and are frequently confused, along
with those that just are incorrectly used. Section 8 includes those that can be hazardous to
communication if incorrectly used.
We have included sections on references, tables, and submitting a manuscript that contain
AFJL idiosyncrasies.
We hope this style guide will assist in establishing consistency without detracting from the
personal styles of the writer.

Word Usage
2
a/an When the word following an article begins with a consonant sound,
a is used; when it begins with a vowel sound, an is used. However,
when a word begins with an aspirated h, correct usage is a—a
history, a hill. Words beginning with vowels that have a consonant
sound, call for an a—a unique.
about He will arrive at about 9 o’clock is not correct. Use at or about but
not both.

absolutes Some words are not subject to comparison by the use of more,
most, or very; for example, eternal or unique.

(advance party or advance payment. Advanced is used figuratively
to indicate a position beyond the norm (an advanced program).
Advanced planning is redundant; all planning is done in advance.
affect/effect Has an influence; effect brings a result. Affect can mean to pretend
or feign something. Effect is the only one of these words in common
use as a noun; affect is used as a noun only in psychology.

examining both similarities and differences, use with: “The teacher
compared Steve’s exam with Robert’s to see whether they had
cheated.”
continuously/ Continuously means without interruption; continually means at

continually frequent intervals.

that have become part of the English language. Words like faux
pas, amigo, and karate have become a part of the English language.
Consult the dictionary.

Punctuation
Parentheses
3.33 Use parentheses to enclose loosely related comments or
explanations or to enclose figures within a sentence that number
items in a series.
Period
3.34 A period is used to mark the end of a declarative or imperative
sentence.
The two girls walked along the seashore.
Stay by the garden.
3.35 Use a period after numerals or letters used to enumerate items in a

vertical list.
1. F-15 a. Operation Desert Storm
2. C-5 b. Operation Enduring Freedom

items are complete sentences:
Some examples of incompatibility are:

3.37 Omit periods at the end of a sentence included within another

sentence.
The pilots (they had taken off at dawn) were finding it difficult to
find a landing field.
3.38 The period is omitted in acronyms and after abbreviations, center,

side, and running heads but is used in run-in sideheads.
3.39 When a declarative or imperative sentence is enclosed in quotation

marks or quoted words and phrases fall at the end of a sentence,

date or figure is historically doubtful.
It was on 7 August 2002 (?) that the airborne brigade received the
supplies.
Quotation Marks
3.43 Use quotation marks to enclose direct quotations and dialogue.
3.44 Do not use quotation marks for direct quotations of five lines or
more. These quotations should be single spaced and indented.
3.45 Use single quotation marks to enclose a quotation within a

quotation.
3.46 Use quotation marks to enclose titles of essays, articles, short

stories, poems, dissertations, episodes in television programs, and
short musical compositions.
3.47 Periods and commas are placed inside quotation marks. Semicolons
and colons are placed outside closing quotation marks. A question
mark or an exclamation point is placed inside quotation marks only
when the quotation itself is a direct question or an explanation.
Otherwise, these marks are placed outside.
Semicolon
3.48 Use a semicolon between independent clauses not joined by

coordinating conjunctions and between coordinate elements with
internal commas.
They are beginning to see results; they should continue to see

results with continued emphasis on these techniques.

Punctuation

invaluable; on the other hand, it was costly.
3.50 Use a semicolon to separate independent clauses that are long and
complex or that have internal punctuation.

Formulas and Symbols

6.1 The increased use of signs and symbols and their importance in
technical and scientific work necessitate standardization.
6.2 Certain symbols are standardized—number symbols (the digits, 0,

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9); letter symbols (the letters of the alphabet, a,
b, c, d, etc); and graphic symbols (the mathematical signs +, -, , x ,).
6.3 The signs +, -, , x , and, etc, are closed against accompanying

figures and symbols. When the x is used to indicate “crossed
with” or magnification, it will be separated from the accompanying
words by a space.
The equation A+B The result is 4 x 4
20,0005,000 Early June x Bright (crossed with)
x 4 (magnification)
Symbols with
Figures
6.4 In technical publications, the degree mark is used in lieu of the

word degree following a figure denoting measurement.
6.5 Following a figure, the spelled form is preferred. The percent

symbol is used in areas where space will not allow the word percent
to be used.
In that period, the price rose 12, 15, and 19 percent.
Not, In that period the price rose 12 percent, 15 percent, and 19
percent.
6.6 Any symbol set close up to figures, such as the degree mark,
dollar mark, or cent mark, is used before or after each figure in a
group or series.

Letter Symbols
6.7 Letter symbols are set in italic or in roman without periods.
Equations
6.8 In mathematical equations, use italics for all letter symbols—capitals,
lowercase, small capitals, and superiors and inferiors (exponents
and subscripts); use roman for figures, including superiors and
inferiors.
6.9 If an equation or a mathematical expression needs to be divided,

break before +, -, =, etc. However, the equal sign is to the left of
other beginning mathematical signs.
6.10 A short equation in text should not be broken at the end of a line.
Space out the line so that the equation will begin on the next line; or
better, center the equation on a line by itself.
6.11 An equation too long for one line is set flush left, the second half of
the equation is set flush right, and the two parts are balanced as
nearly as possible.
6.12 Two or more equations in a series are aligned on the equal signs
and centered on the longest equation in the group.
6.13 Connecting words of explanation, such as hence, therefore, and

similarly, are set flush left either on the same line with the equation
or on a separate line.

Formulas and Symbols
6.14 Parentheses, braces, brackets, integral signs, and summation signs

should be the same height as the mathematical expressions.
6.15 Inferiors precede superiors if they appear together; but if either

inferior or superior is too long, the two are aligned on the left.

Abbreviations and Acronyms
9
9.1 Abbreviations are used to save space and to avoid distracting the
reader. There are three categories of abbreviations.
Acronym—a pronounceable word formed by combining initial
letters (United States Air Forces in Europe, USAFE) or syllables
and letters (Notice to Airmen, NOTAM) of the parent words.
Brevity Code—a combination of letters designed to shorten a
phrase, sentence or group of sentences (days delay en route
authorized chargeable as leave, DDALV).
Contraction—an abbreviation formed by omitting certain letters
or syllables and bringing together the first and last letters (receipt,
rcpt).
9.2 Write abbreviations for single words in lowercase letters (attach,

atch; hospital, hosp).
9.3 Avoid separating elements of an abbreviation by spacing. Use a

hyphen if separation is necessary (Canada-United States, CAN-
US).
9.4 Use the same abbreviation for singular and plural forms
(attachment, attachments, atch). When ambiguity could result, form
the plural by adding a lower cases. Do not use an apostrophe to
form the plural.
9.5 Avoid abbreviating verbs.
9.6 Use the ampersand in an abbreviation when and must be included

(research and development, R&D).
9.7 An abbreviation follows the capitalization and hyphening of the

word or words abbreviated.
Manual for Style 79

Chapter 9
9.8 Don’t abbreviate words and phrases just for the sake of doing so
when brevity is not of the essence.
9.9 Periods are not used with abbreviations or acronyms except for i.e
and e.g.
9.10 US is used in the adjective position but spelled out when used as a
noun. This is a good rule of thumb with use of other acronyms
unless they are lengthy.
9.11 Names of major commands and units are spelled out the first time
but acronyms are used thereafter.
9.12 All states of the United States, the Canal Zone, Puerto Rico, and
the Virgin Islands are spelled out except in tables. The two-letter
state or province is used in tables—Tallahassee FL, Vancouver BC.
9.13 The words street, avenue, place, road, square, boulevard, terrace,
drive, court, and building are not abbreviated except in tables and
figures.
9.14 Spell out senator, representative, commodore, and commandant.
9.15 The following and similar forms are used after a name:
Esq, Jr, Sr,
II and III are not preceded by a comma
Degrees: LLD, MA, PhD
9.16 Sr and Jr should not be used without given name or initials.
9.17 Names of months are abbreviated in footnotes, tables, and figures

but are spelled out in the manuscript.
9.18 Compass directions are abbreviated as follows:
NE, NNW, SW
9.19 Generally, do not abbreviate the names of cities or counties.
9.20 Do not abbreviate fort and mount except in tables and figures.
9.21 Generally, abbreviate saint or sainte in proper names.

St Louis, Sault Ste Marie
9.22 Spell out association, bureau, department, and division.
9.23 Spell out military, police, and fire ranks preceding names except in
tables, figures, and endnotes.
9.24 As a rule, do not continue using the rank before a name in subsequent
references; use simply the name. If the rank must be used with the
name in a subsequent reference, use General Blank instead of
Brigadier General Blank.
9.25 Spell out governor, lieutenant governor, senator, representative,

professor, and reverend and their plurals preceding a name.
9.26 Use the abbreviations Dr, Mr, Mrs, Ms preceding a name.
