*subject to change without notice. I probably will not go back to old posts to update.

  • Oxford comma must be used.
  • samwarnick.com is referred to as a blog.
    • Not a website, not a site, and definitely not a web-blog.
  • Mash things together:
    • frontend (not front end or front-end)
    • email (not e-mail)
  • Do not use hyphens for em dashes or en dashes.
  • Spell out numbers under 10.
  • When using multiple exclamation points or question marks, use at least 12.
    • Adds emphasis!!!!!!!!!!!!
    • Just kidding. I like using two to show I'm a fun, casual dude!!
  • Made-up words are okay. All words are just made up to trick children anyway.
  • I know it's "right" to put the punctuation inside the quotation marks, but I'm not sold. So for now, only do that for dialog, not scare quote "stuff".
  • Ignore all these if it feels right.
    • Except for the Oxford comma you monster.

Disagree with these? You can attempt to politely tell me why I should change something. Or keep quiet and do whatever you want on your own blog.
