When writers fill the screen with words, it’s the spaces left behind that give them meaning. Take this month’s quiz on spaces and spacing, only at CMOS Shop Talk. #ChicagoStyle #AmEditing #AmWriting https://t.co/juccAvOEjf

[The Chicago Manual of Style @ChicagoManual]

Q. Is a space needed between a number and a fraction symbol?
Q. Should British spelling be used for a British character?
Q. How should I quote someone who speaks a hashtag?

We answer these and other #ChicagoStyle questions in the May Q&A at CMOS Online. https://t.co/hxuCgpFx3O
