SAT

the revised mathematics and critical reading (formerly called verbal) sections.

with the explicit written permission of the student (not a
parent).

scientific terminology
Traditionally, Latin (genus, species and subspecies)
names of plants and animals are italicized; additional (following)
designations (such as “var.” for a variety of a
species) are set in roman type. The genus name is capitalized
and the species lowercased (even when it is a proper adjective).
After initial use, the genus name may be abbreviated.
The traditional style is
used by Columns, but most newspapers, and AP Style,
do not use italics, setting everything roman.
Divisions higher than genus—phylum,
class, order, family—are capped and set roman.
Common names (except of course
those that are trademarked or patented) are set lowercase
roman, capitalizing only proper nouns and adjectives.
The state bird of Georgia
is the brown thrasher, or Toxostoma rufum. Other
members of the Mimidae family common in Georgia are the
gray catbird (Dumetella carolinensis) and the
northern mockingbird (Mimus polyglottos). The
American robin belongs to a different family.
SCWDS
Second reference for the Southeastern
Cooperative Wildlife Disease Study (pronounced SQUIDish).

Consortium.

credit hours). Hyphenate the adjective: He is in his second
year; he is a second-year student.
Selig Center for Economic Growth
The economic forecasting center of the Terry College. The
formal name, the Simon S. Selig Jr.
Center for Economic Growth, is necessary only on the most formal occasions. Second reference:
Selig Center.
semesters
Lower case, like quarters and seasons. The class
will be offered for the first time during spring semester 2008.
semi-colon
Use a semi-colon to connect two independent clauses
that are not related, thus avoiding comma splices or run-on
sentences. UGA
colors are red and black; silver may be used as an accent
color.
Semi-colons also may be used to separate the elements of
a series when the elements themselves include commas.
Do not use semi-colons in a series if commas will work. Note
that using semi-colons in this way does not dictate
the use of a colon to introduce the series (and the converse:
using a colon does not require the use of semi-colons). When
semi-colons are used, include one before the conjunction
at the end of the series: Newly appointed members of
the task force are April Spring, vice president for something;
August Winter, director of instructional services; June Person,
professor of education; and Julius Caesar, head of the Western
world.
senior
Acceptable adjective or noun that can be used interchangably
for fourth-year student (with
more than 90 credit hours). Students who have been undergraduates
for more than four years are still called seniors; when necessary,
they may be called fifth-year students or fifth-year seniors
(or sixth-year, or whatever is accurate).
serial commas
For Columns and news releases, follow AP style, omitting
the serial comma (the comma preceding “and” or “or” in
a series) when it is not needed: The university flag
is red, black and white.
As AP notes, however, complex constructions may read more
smoothly with the comma, and in those cases the comma is
preferred. In some cases, the serial comma is simply necessary
to prevent confusion: There
are four major groups of vertebrates: mammals, reptiles and
birds, fish, and amphibians.
The two examples which follow are actual sentences which
appeared in Columns. In both cases, omitting the
serial comma might lead to misreading, or necessitate
re-reading.
The president told the University Council that pay raises,
money for maintenance and repairs, and planning funds for
a new classroom building will be among the university’s
legislative priorities.
Those efforts include grassroots projects that diminish hostilities
in a particular part of the world, international programs
that promote communication or trade among different
peoples, and leadership that inspires global cooperation
and peace.

the
Treat “the” as part of a publication’s

only when so treated by the publication in question; check
the masthead to be sure. In Columns “the” within
a sentence is not capitalized unless there is also a change
of typeface (e.g., to italics) or a quotation mark to
cue the reader.
Many businesses and institutions cap “the” in
their name in their own print materials; Columns does not.

titles and names
Use full names on first reference. On second and subsequent
references, use only last names, without courtesy titles, for
both men and women regardless of marital status.
There are two exceptions:
(a) To distinguish between a husband and wife quoted in
the same story; confusion can often be avoided by using first
names.
(b) In obituaries, in media releases but not in Columns, after the first reference, refer to men either by their academic
title or by “Mr.”; refer to women either by their
academic title or by “Ms.” If you know the woman
in question preferred “Miss” or “Mrs.” to “Ms.,” use
the appropriate title conveying marital status.
JOB TITLES: A person’s formal title should be used
on first reference. Use lower case for titles unless they
are directly before a name and function as part of the name.
As a general rule, titles containing more than four words
should be placed after the name. Do not capitalize titles
in generic usage: The deans met
with the president. The vice president attended the meeting.
ACADEMIC TITLES: If a professor holds an endowed chair or
special professorship, capitalize the full name of the title: John
Doe, Dunley Professor of Academic Law. The full name
of the chair often includes first names and middle initials
of the donor; these can omitted on first reference. Do not
use academic and job titles in conjunction: do not write “Dean
Dr. Jane Doe.” Use “Dr.” before a name
only when the person in question has an M.D. or D.V.M. degree;
it is assumed that UGA faculty possess the terminal degree
in their field.
LEADERSHIP TITLES: Use whatever title the group uses for
its leader: “chairman,” “chairwoman,” “chairperson,” or “chair.” If
the information from the group does not make clear the title
the group uses, “chairperson” is preferred.
TITLES OF EVENTS: Capitalize, in quotation marks, the full,
formal titles of workshops, conferences, seminars, speeches,
art exhibitions and similar events:A workshop titled “The Use of the Library” will
be held next week. Use lower case for subject matter: The
main library will offer a workshop on library use.
COURTESY TITLES: In a formal list (of participants or donors,
for instance), “Mr.,” “Mrs.,” “Miss,” and “Ms.” should
be omitted, except when a woman has chosen to use her husband’s
name. Jane Doe, but Mrs. Joseph Doe, Mr. and
Mrs. John Doe. See Honor Roll of Donors.
TITLES OF WORKS in Columns: Although newspaper
style traditionally avoided italics, technology now allows
us to set italics as easily as roman. Columns italicizes
the names of:
· books
· newspapers and magazines
· plays and films
· television or radio series
· art exhibitions, exhibits
and other gallery displays
· paintings and other artworks
· operas and other long musical
compositions
Columns uses quotation marks to set off the titles
of shorter works:
· short stories, magazine
or newspaper articles, poems
· individual episodes of
television or radio series
· songs and short musical
compositions
· lectures and speeches
Treat words like “the” and “magazine” as
part of a publication’s title (capping, italicizing,
including in quotes, as appropriate) only when so treated
by the publication in question; check the masthead to be
sure. In Columns “the” within a sentence
is not capitalized unless there is also a change of typeface
(e.g., to italics) or a quotation mark to cue the reader.

two lines with a hyphen; break if necessary using a required

may be seen as part of the address.
