*Remember that names of genders and sexualities are not proper nouns, and therefore should not be capitalized.
*Do not use informal language/stylization (eg: exclamation points, slang words or casual shortenings of words); do not shorten the words masculine and feminine to "masc" and "fem".
*Do not use "&" in place of "and".
*Double quotes ("...") are preferable in most cases. Single quotes ('...') should be used for inner quotes (quotes inside quotes).
*The months in all dates should be spelled out. Do not use month abbreviations. Do not use numbers for months. Dates should always be stated as month, day, year (eg: November 26th, 2020). Do not use abbreviations.

*For numbers twelve and less, they should be spelled out (with the exception of dates). Numbers 13 or greater should be written with numerals.

*The word non-binary should be spelled with a dash (the exception is when the word is part of a larger word such as deminonbinary). Do not say "NB" or "enby" - say "non-binary". do not say "enbys", "NBs", or "non-binarys" - say "non-binary individuals".
*Do not say "
*Use Latino or Latine rather than Latinx to refer generally to Latine individuals.
