Problems in Chicago 17 author date German
I just noticed a couple of problems in the Chicago Manual of Style 17, author-date version when set to German:
1. the "und" between several authors should not be preceded by a comma (in German "und" is rarely ever preceded by a comma, it is usually a grammar mistake). This happens only when there are more than 2 authors (ie X, Y, und Z), it is fine when there are only two (X und Y).
2. In the bibliography "In" should be followed by a colon, I believe, which it is not. Looks really strange.
