Somewhere out there is a journal article detailing the changes in the APA
Manual from one printing to the next (up to about the 6th printing). Randy
Smith sent me a copy of these the first time I taught experimental
psychology. It's in my stack of experimental handouts back in my office
right now - perhaps someone has a reference. I'll dig it up if I remember
to.
I suspect that our students will mostly have relatively recent printings in
which most of these issues have been resolved, but it's worth being aware of
these differences and letting our students know about them as much as
possible.

Didn't anyone ever warn you never to buy version 1.00? ;)
