Grammar resources - University of Chicago Writing Program
An annotated collection of grammar and writing resources from around the web. A word of advice: grammar is not math We've selected the sites on this list because on the whole, we think they're pretty good. Grammar: quick guides The Grammar Handbook from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign is a clear, primarily text-based source organized by subject. About.com's Richard Nordquist has an extensive, informative collection of grammar-related articles on his Grammar and Composition site. Some on-line guides include not only in-depth information, but quizzes that let you test your knowledge. Finally, those of us who learned our grammar on TV can return to Schoolhouse Rock (use your popup blocker), a site -- or rather a shrine -- devoted to the old Schoolhouse Rock songs, including several about grammar. Usage guides Usage guides cover such matters as choosing between words of similar meaning and the correct spelling of frequently misspelled words. WARNING: a thesaurus is not enough!

Dr. Abel Scribe's Guide to Chicago Style Research Papers
Chicago Style is the style of formatting books and research papers documented in the Chicago Manual of Style (CMS), 2003, and Kate Turabian's Manual for Writer's of Research Papers, Theses, and Dissertations, 2007 (both published by the University of Chicago Press). While reference is sometimes made to a "Turabian style," this is simply the Chicago style applied to research papers. It is based on the most recent (15th) edition of the Chicago Manual of Style (2003), and has been revised and expanded fall 2007. © Copyright 2007 by Dr. Abel Scribe PhD.
