Style Guide
The USAC Style Guide is intended to help USAC staff create content that is consistent across channels and programs, and most importantly, content that our stakeholders can understand. Clear, accessible USAC content will support successful, efficient, and compliant stakeholder actions.
Grammatically, we follow AP Stylebook guidelines. If you have a grammar question that is not answered here, suggestions for changes or additions to the Style Guide or want to get involved with implementing content standards across USAC, please contact communications@usac.org.
