A.P. Style

These are four wierd rules in the A.P. Styles book.
1.) Compared to, Compared with
-Use "compared to" when the intent is to assert, without the need for elaboration, that two or more items are similar. Use "compared with" when juxtaposing two or more items to illustrate similarities and/or differences.

2.) Flautist
- The prefered word is flutist.

3.) Korean names
-North Korean names are generally three seperate words, each starting with a capial letter. South Korean names are three words with the second two names hyphenated and a lowercase lettr after the hyphen. (VERY CONFUSING)

4.) Mishap
- A minor misfortune. People are not killed in mishaps.
