#ConsciousStyle

I was not expecting this footnote in the new Chicago Manual of Style. Thank you, editors of #CMOS18, for modeling #ConsciousLanguage.

"5.255: Making Conscious Choices…Here we draw on the term 'conscious language' as used by Karen Yin, founder of the Conscious Style Guide website." ❤️

Screenshot with "The Chicago Manual of Style" in black on yellow, with "Online" in red beneath it. To the right of this block of color is an entry: 5: Grammar and Usage > 5.255: Making Conscious Choices. The footnote reads, "Here we draw on the term 'conscious language' as used by Karen Yin, founder of the Conscious Style Guide website (see bibliog. 1.4)."
