Le Canadian Style est un outil linguistique indispensable aux rédacteurs, concepteurs-rédacteurs, étudiants, enseignants, avocats, journalistes, secrétaires et gens d'affaires — bref, à quiconque rédige en anglais au Canada. Il fournit des réponses concises et actuelles à une foule de questions sur les abréviations, le trait d'union, l'orthographe, la majuscule, la ponctuation et l'emploi souvent erroné de certains mots. On y trouve des conseils utiles sur la rédaction de lettres, de notes diverses, de rapports, d'index et de bibliographies, ainsi que sur l'écriture des noms géographiques. Certains chapitres portent sur le style clair et simple, la révision de documents et les stéréotypes dans les textes. On y aborde même la façon de présenter les mots français dans un texte anglais.

OBS

Le guide «The Canadian Style» est offert en anglais seulement. Cependant, un outil d'aide à la rédaction au contenu similaire est disponible en français sous le titre «Le guide du rédacteur».
