new APA tidbits

I'm wondering what my library teammates have discovered in th 6th edition of the beloved APA Manual. I've already found a couple things new things, plus a few I thought were new but were really old things that I just didn't know from the previous edition.

What's new to you in the latest APA Manual?

1. NEW: In the reference page listing for a book, all cities now get their 2-letter state abbreviations. So no more trying to remember the list of which cities were exempt.

2. NEW TO ME: Although I knew that personal communications don't get listed on the reference page, I learned that classical words (like the Bible and the Qur'an) do not get listed on the reference page either. (See p. 174.)
