You get used to odd formatting, though. The French and the Americans do odd things, but after a while you simply don't notice. I'd be interested to know if anyone out there has any special preferences.
A book I'm reading just now is very strangely formatted - particularly regarding indents - and the last novel I read from this publisher had odd things, too, although they were different odd things. My editor and I disagreed on a couple of points and she was right every time, even the time I didn't take her advice, although we eventually agreed that my preference for double quotes for direct speech was simply 'house style'.
