@AMAManual, I noticed that in the short-form reference style, you maintained a comma before “et al.” In light of the fact that “et” means “and,” what is the reason for the comma?

[Redwing Blackbird @rwbb23]

@AMAManual Thank you!

@AMAManual, format for https://t.co/KnE7WKzAPb ref:

The format:

Title in sentence case. https://t.co/KnE7WKzAPb identifier: NCTxxxxxxxxxxx. [Updated date. Accessed date.] URL

Have you changed the format? I can’t find it in the online manual.

[Redwing Blackbird @rwbb23]

@AMAManual I’m confused by the format in section 3.5.10, New Releases, example 5 (shown below). There’s a URL, so why is a semicolon used?

@AMAManual

A graph has values such as 0.032 and 0.051.

Should the interval labels on the y-axis match the number of digits (0, 0.010, 0.020, etc), or can the labels be in hundredths (0, 0.01, 0.02, etc)?

Sorry if this is duplicate. Mistakenly sent as reply instead of post.

@AMAManual
I have a graph that includes values such as 0.027 and 0.049

Should the interval point labels along the y-axis match the number of digits (0.010, 0.020, etc), or can they be in hundredths (0.01, 0.02, etc)?

@AMAManual With the construction shown (“In: StatPearls”), it looked as though that was a book title.

[Redwing Blackbird @rwbb23]

@AMAManual Should “StatPearls” (in the title position) be italicized?

[Redwing Blackbird @rwbb23]

@AdrienneMH2425 @AMAManual Some people *insist* on that comma, but I’m not sure why. There’s no possibility of misreading. And “et” just means “and.” So I agree with you 100%!

@AdrienneMH2425 @AMAManual Liked this for the first part of your tweet. Neutral on the second part 😀

I’m running for Lt. Governor because the Republican plan isn’t this year’s 12 week abortion ban; it’s next year’s total abortion ban. I'm North Carolina Senator Rachel Hunt. Let me explain... #ncpol

@AdrienneMH2425 @AMAManual @ChicagoManual It’s definitely helpful to use “who” in complex passages that require relative pronouns for persons and things :)

[Redwing Blackbird @rwbb23]

@AMAManual @ChicagoManual Thank you! I was hoping you would say that. 😀

[Redwing Blackbird @rwbb23]

@AMAManual

Is it incorrect to use “that” as a relative pronoun when a person is the antecedent?

@mattyglesias @KBAndersen He’s comparing the crime rate in a city vs the crime rate in a state.

[Redwing Blackbird @rwbb23]

@AMAManual Seems to be back to normal 😀

@AMAManual, the site isn’t working properly. The search button is responding only intermittently. I had to log in through OUP, rather than on your landing page (as I usually do)
