I actually considered taking a technical editing certificate course....Chicago was a pre-req.

Haven't taken it yet. Maybe it's the 5K for the certificate, or maybe its the 60+ for each book..

I blame university for my hatred of just about every style book guide or anything of the sort. APA is the devil.

But, Chicago/AP is probably the closest thing I can get to an editor on retainer.
