god / God
In cultures strongly influenced by Greco-Hebraic and European traditions, the lowercase god is a generic term that could be applied to any of a number of divine beings, especially those recognized in polytheistic religions. The capitalized God is a term reserved for the one creator and ruler of the universe recognized by monotheistic religions, especially Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Nontraditional use of these terms may be offensive to some readers and should be negotiated on a case-by-case basis with the author.

"-grade" compounds
- As an adjective preceding the noun it modifies, a compound ending in grade is hyphenated. Thus, "a first-grade student", "a fifth-grade teacher", "third- and fourth-grade mathematics", "a primary-grade classroom," "a 10th-grade homeroom"
- As a noun, first grade is not hyphenated. Thus, "She teaches first and second grade."
- As a noun equivalent of "a student in first grade," a phrase like first grader is not hyphenated: "Our sample included 28 second graders and 28 third graders."
- Use numerals when listing grades under 10 that are grouped or compared with grades 10 and above (and appear in the same paragraph): "She used to teach 9th and 10th grade, but now she teaches 8th grade."
- When using "grade" as part of a name of a literature genre, do not hyphenate: middle grade, upper middle grade
