You probably pride yourself on your ability to pick up inconsistencies and style deviations. Read about my experience using PerfectIt 5 on the CIEP blog. The software shows both the relevant advice from CMOS and the appropriate portion of the manual. The power of the online version of CMOS is now combined with that of PerfectIt. The most recent version of PerfectIt, PerfectIt 5, features a style sheet for Chicago Manual of Style, 17th edition. For example, it will pick up the word “colour,” even if the document does not contain the word “color.” Using one of PerfectIt’s style sheets thus greatly increases the power of the program, because it will pick up both inconsistencies and deviations from the chosen style. The program will then pick up any deviations from US spelling. Hence, if you are working on a document from the US, you simply choose PerfectIt’s US spelling style sheet.
The program has style sheets for different spellings (Australian, Canadian, UK, and US) and organizations (e.g., the European Union, United Nations, and World Health Organization). PerfectIt makes it easy to find deviations from a particular style, such as US spelling. PerfectIt Makes It Easy to Adhere to a Style ( Chicago style, that is!)
