Re: Typographic Sins

I think this list is pretty helpful. I have heard several of these points in my classes. Since I was a copy editor before coming to UB, I actually already knew some of these rules and continue to use them, such as the difference between hyphens, en dashes, and em dashes and the placement of commas and periods with quotation marks. There are other tips I've only learned at school, such as fixing the kerning in large type. This never crossed my mind, but now I always make sure to check my kerning.
