Devil Daggers Strategy Guide :: A note about style

Throughout this guide, you might notice some peculiarities and even things that might come off as grammar/capitalization errors. And those are probably intentional.

[h1]Overall Style[/h1]

This guide is written in a casual conversational style. It's not meant to be encyclopedic in any way, shape or form. Nor is it meant to be "proper" in the sense that an academic paper is "proper". When writing in a conversational style, I make a lot of compromises to make it "sound" right. That said, I don't consider blatant mistakes like run-on sentences to be a stylistic choice. If it's egregious, call me out on it.

[h1]Spelling, Typos[/h1]

I've made some spelling mistakes, but they are hard to track. It's the type of typo where you mean to write e.g. "fixed", but somehow write "fixes" instead.

[h1]Specific Enemy References[/h1]

References to specific enemies are styled in all caps, but only the name is in all caps.

E.g. "GIGAPEDEs" is correct, while "GIGAPEDES" is incorrect

It's hard to keep track of that, and I'm pretty sure I've accidentally capitalized some trailing 's'-es.

I was considering changing specific enemy references to be bold, e.g. [b]Gigapede[/b] instead of GIGAPEDE, but I changed my mind based on how much work it would take and the fact that "[b]Gigapede[/b]s" is no easier to read than "GIGAPEDEs".

[h1]Non-specific Enemy References[/h1]

References to non-specific enemies are styled as a proper noun. E.g. if I'm talking about skull-type enemies, I will say "Skulls". Not "skulls" nor "SKULLS" nor "SKULLs".

SKULL II - refers to the hard-to-predict Skull that comes from the SQUID I
Skull - refers to any skull-type enemy

[h1]Numbers[/h1]

Numbers are supposed to be in number form, e.g. 42, 109, 1114 (no comma). If I spelled out a number anywhere in this guide, that's inconsistent with this rule and is thus a mistake.

If something I wrote is inconsistent with the style rules I laid out above, then it's probably a typo--let me know!
