Chicago Style / Pareto

When writing according to the Chicago Manual of Style, there are several common errors that writers often make. Here are the 10 most frequent mistakes:

1. Inconsistent Comma Usage: Particularly with the serial or Oxford comma, where writers either inconsistently apply or omit it in a series of items.
2. Improper Formatting and Punctuation of Lists: Errors often occur in how lists are punctuated or formatted, which can lead to confusion and disrupt the flow of text.
3. Incorrect Use of Hyphens vs. Dashes: Writers frequently mix up hyphens and dashes (en dashes and em dashes), which have different uses and meanings.
4. Subject-Verb Agreement Issues: This error involves the verb not correctly agreeing in number with the subject, leading to grammatical errors in sentences.
5. Gender Bias in Pronoun Usage: The misuse of gender-specific pronouns can lead to bias; the Chicago Manual of Style advises on ways to use gender-neutral language.
6. Confusion Between "Which" vs. "That": These relative pronouns are often used incorrectly; "that" is used restrictively to specify a noun, while "which" is used non-restrictively, often set off by commas.
7. Spelling Errors and Missing Articles: Common spelling mistakes and the omission of necessary articles ("a," "an," "the") can degrade the quality of writing.
8. Misuse of Latin Abbreviations Like "et al.": Misunderstanding how to use Latin terms correctly, such as "et al.," which should not be italicized, is a frequent issue.
9. Improper Formatting of Citations and Bibliographies: Errors in how citations and bibliographies are formatted can lead to inconsistencies and inaccuracies in academic and professional writing.
10. Lack of Clarity with Word Placement: Misplaced words, especially modifiers like "only," can alter the intended meaning of a sentence, leading to ambiguity and misunderstanding.
