I have a mental image of two groups of style guide authors in a large meeting room on either side of a conference table. Jackets have been thrown violently to the side, shirt sleeves rolled to the elbow, and ties worn as sashes, headbands, belt or fashioned into slings ready to hurl paperweights, staplers or cell phones. Each group shouting their opinions across the table while personal assistants either cower in fear against the walls, or drape themselves against their boss in a manner reminiscent of a Harlequin romance novel cover. A pirate's den of pencil-pushing, literary-minded rules lawyers.

I am amused. :)
