Got my stupid editing song in my head again:
(extremely Frank Sinatra voice)
Chicago, Chicago, that manual of style!
Chicago, Chicago, I'll edit a while
I love it!
Betcha bottom footnote you'll choose to use
with Chicago, Chicago
The style that Kate Turabian can't shut down!
I had the time, the time of my life, and
I know which compound words take a hyphen
Chicago! My home style!#Academic #AcademicEditing #Copyediting #Citation #Referencing #CMOS #ChicagoManualOfStyle #Turabian

And a fantastic playdoyer to -at least- question the automatic use of #italic as #semantic.
"Maybe the #Tschichold Revolution should be not mere «4 colors and 20 typefaces», but «4 colors and 20 typefaces with a dozen of different "italics" each»? For example, italic for emphasis and #iranic for irony?"
