---+ The Holger H. Hoos Style Guide 
For writing academic papers with Holger H. Hoos

---++ Spelling
   * Use British spelling:
   * Colour, neighbourhood, behaviour...
   * Use the (-se) word forms not the (-ze) word forms.  Don't forget all the varaiants: (-sed,-sation,-sations,-sing): Optimise, optimised, optimisation, optimisations, optimising.  
   * More examples: penalise, analyse, initialise, minimise, maximise, summarise, characterise, normalise, randomise, conceptualise, emphasise.
   * Exceptions: size (sized, sizing...).

---++ Capitalisation
   * For (chapters,sections,figures,equations,tables,etc...) capitalise only when referencing a specific number.  For example, in this chapter we blah blah, but in Chapter 6 we blah blah.
   * Capitalise proper names, such as Hamming distance or Boolean formula.
   * When you capitalise a bullet, it _should_ be a full sentence (but not strictly) and it must end with a period.
