Style and usage guide

Key:
 * ->: The script replaces the phrase before -> with what comes after. If there's no ->, then the script doesn't replace the phrase, it just directs the reader to that entry in my style and usage guide.
 * Unless otherwise noted, if there's a verb in the first phrase that doesn't end in -s, -d or -ing, then the advice applies to any form of the verb, including forms ending in -s, -d and -ing.
 * _: A space at the beginning or end of the phrase. For spaces between words, I just use spaces.
 * _N, _V, _CONJ: When appended to a word, these mean the word is used here only as a noun, verb, or conjunction.
 * ~: This means "Don't use the following phrase immediately after the phrase that precedes it."
 * phrase, phrase2, etc: any sequence of one or more words
 * s.t.: something (as an object of the preceding word or phrase ... for instance, the direct object of a verb, or the object of a preposition)
 * word, word2, etc: any word
 * Small capitals indicate an essay.

If the first phrase isn't precisely what was changed by my copyediting, then I'm giving advice on a closely related point.
