English, unlike French or Icelandic, doesn't have an Academy to decide
what's correct. There are several respected style guides (two of the
best known being the Chicago Manual of Style and the Associated Press
Stylebook), and they sometimes disagree - that's why there's more than
one of them. And there are many books about grammar and usage (not the
same thing as style), which will also differ from each other in some
details.
The best bet is to find some well-respected writers in the field you're
writing for, and do what they do.
