The people/s style guide

In order to set the record straight, PEHOCAC is proud to release it's official style guide. It//s appropriately titled, "The People's Style Guide For Modern Hipsters and Asscoiated Lesser Beings, First Edition." And it's edited by none other than Holly Go-Heavily and The Paper Cat, a/k/a P-Kitty. Copies are available for the reasonable price-in-trade of one 1978 Chevrolet El Camino Super Sport. In case you have trouble procuring one of those, here are some of the popular highlights:

- When citing another source, it is appropriate to Gizoogle the shisznit out of it.

- Punctuation goes outside quotation marks when the quotation marks surround a term of art.

- The name Possible Elitists High On Coffee and Cloves or PEHOCAC is always to be liseted in boldface and in yellow.

- Any number of slashes (///) can be optionally substituted for an apostrophe (') at any time--Hubert Selby, Jr. style.

- "Also Known As" can be abbreviated as "a/k/a" or "a.k.a."

- Never stoop the level of the uncool. If necessary, rewrite all these rules to stay ahead of the curve.

And don't forget the catch-all: for any issues not specifically addressed by the People's Style Guide, refer to materials from the course "Sun Ra 171" as taught at UC-Berkeley.
