names, personal<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

See also academic titles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In text, the first reference should include full name; later references last name only. Repeat first name only to avoid confusion with someone else with the same last name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

nationalities<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

See compound nationalities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

newspaper names<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If the name of a newspaper you\u2019re citing includes the city but not the state, and the city is not on the Associated Press Stylebook\u2019s list of stand-alone cities (see cities, US), use the following style: Oberlin (Ohio) News-Tribune. Note that the name of the Star Tribune, which is published in the Twin Cities, does not include a city name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do not italicize when it represents an employer. She was employed by the New York Times until 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

nicknames<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Use quotation marks, not parentheses, for nicknames: Muriel \u201cTootsie\u201d Smith Jones \u201955.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

numbers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Note: As of 2021, Macalester is adopting Chicago\u2019s<\/em> general rule for numbering (9.2). Spell out numbers from one to one hundred; use figures for numbers higher than one hundred:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He was only twenty-three when he died. At 103, she was the longest-living resident in the nursing home. For consistency within a sentence, the rule can be modified: While she lived to 102, her son was only 50 when he died.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the tenth edition of the book. The college is celebrating its 120th anniversary.*<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spell out and lower-case centuries: The twentieth century saw many breakthroughs in science. She teaches nineteenth-century English literature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Decades can be spelled out or expressed as numbers: nineteen-sixties and nineteen-seventies, or 1960s and 1970s. If abbreviated, use an apostrophe to indicate the missing information: \u201960s and \u201970s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the twenty-first century, make the decade clear: the 2000s is ambiguous. For 2000\u20132009, refer to the first decade of the twenty-first century. The years 2010\u20132019 are referred to as the 2010s.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
