Reconsideration of New Rule in the MCPS Editorial Stylebook
Please update the information at the bottom of the first column on page 1 of your copy of the 2011 edition of the MCPS Editorial Stylebook with the following information:
Academic titles and honors that follow a name are usually lowercased in general use; abbreviations are capitalized.
Examples:
John M. Smith, doctor of law
Judith Fong, B.A.,
Melanie Smith, Ed.D.
Phillip Jones, M.D.
Carmen Alvarez, J.D.
These designations are offset by commas in a sentence when they follow a personal name.
Example:
Carmen Alvarez, J.D., will be our keynote speaker. |
