G
Grade Point Average
9.8. In general, spell out on first reference. In the second reference, use GPA (no periods).

I
I and Me
9.9 There is a common misunderstanding about the First Person pronouns, "I" and "me."

• Between you and me
  • It has become a popular practice to say and write "between you and I." However, this is an INCORRECT construction.
  • The CORRECT form is "between you and me."
  • The reason: Between is a preposition, which takes the objective case. The objective case of the first person pronoun is "me."
• I and me with other prepositions
  • It has also become popular to say and write phrases such as "for you and I" and "to you and I." However, these and other phrases like them are INCORRECT.
  • The CORRECT forms are "for you and me" and "to you and me."
  • The reason: "For" and "to" are prepositions, just as "between" is a preposition. All prepositions take the objective case. The objective case of the first person pronoun is "me."(HINT: If you were to omit "you" from the phrase, you would be left with "for I" and "to I," both or which are as wrong as they sound.)

O
Online
9.10. Do not hyphenate. Use "online" (not "on-line") in all references.

S
Seasons
9.11. Lowercase spring, summer, fall and winter. Capitalize the season only when it's part of a formal name.

• The fall semester will begin next week.
• The College of Engineering Summer Orientation will begin in June.

T
That and which
9.12. There is a great deal of confusion about the use of "that" and "which," and the punctuation that accompanies each word. In the AP stylebook, refer to "essential clauses and nonessential clauses" and "essential phrases and nonessential phrases." If after reading this there is still confusion, contact Media and Marketing.

U 
Use, utilize
9.13. There is no discernible reason to substitute "utilize" for "use," despite the fact that they have the same meaning. Don't choose the longer word over the short, crisp one. That is, use "use" not "utilize" as a first choice.

W
Website
9.14. Use as one word: "website."
9.15. Use lower case for "web," even though it refers to the Worldwide Web.
