AP Style Excersise S-Z

1) When he heard the building scheme for the new high school had been rejected, Bill pulled out his stationary to write a letter of protest.
2) Ben really knows his scriptures, but he knows little about the Talmud or the Shariah.
3) Her home in upstate New York is surprisingly ultra-modern and rather unique for its middle-class neighborhood.
4) To celebrate Veteran's Day, the anniversary of the armistice that ended World War I, troupes of former soldiers will march down Main Street carrying U.S. flags.
5) Word of mouth has it that Ellen will wind up with the only “A” in the class.
6) When Sara spotted the Louis L'Amour paperback, she asked who's book it was. She couldn't believe it was Johns; after all, nobody reads Westerns anymore, she had no idea he was so weird.

  1. 1) building plan, not scheme; stationery, not stationary
    2) capitalize Scriptures
    3) ultramodern, delete "rather" (it's either unique, or it's not)
    4) Veterans Day, troops
    5) Word-of-mouth
    6) whose, John's
