STYLE GENERALLY
§ 23.101. Punctuation, capitalization and orthography.
(a) General rule.—Punctuation, capitalization, orthography and other matters of style shall conform in general to the most recent edition of the United States Government Printing Office Style Manual. Note that although the terms ‘‘part,’’ ‘‘article,’’ ‘‘chapter’’ and other major subdivisions are capitalized in the Pennsylvania Code, they are not capitalized in the Statutes unless forming a part of a heading or a cross reference to a specific heading.
(b) Prepositional phrase preferred.—Whenever possible without undue awkwardness, a prepositional phrase rather than a possessive noun is used. For example, ‘‘The rights of each employee shall be protected,’’ not ‘‘Each employee’s rights shall be protected.’’
(c) Spelling of employee.—The word ‘‘employee’’ is spelled as such and not ‘‘employe.’’
Cross References This section cited in 101 Pa. Code § 25.22 (relating to elimination of departures from uniform style of the Statutes).
