In general, I follow the Chicago Manual of Style but I am a firm believer in letting context and purpose dictate and that conventions are for achieving clarity through consistency and nothing else.

Quite new to SE (March '18), and while I will from time to time express an opinion that is contrary to the mainstream, I am not here to discuss or debate who is more correct.
