OK, so I grabbed good old Webster's and looked for Form but I found

form n. 1. the shape, outline, or configuration of anything; structure as apart from color, material, etc. ... it goes on. ...5. a) arrangement; esp., orderly arrangement; way in which parts of a whole are organized; pattern; style: distingushed from CONTENT sub2 b) a specific arrangement, esp. a conventional one 6. a way of doing something requiring skill; specif., the style or technique of an athlete, esp. when it is the standard or approved one ...then there is more... 15. a grade or class in some private schools and in British secondary schools 16. [Archaic] beauty ...15 being a nod to our members accross the pond, from me ...19. Philos. the ideal nature or essential character of a thing as distingushed from its matter... something about printing... --vt. 1. to give shape or form to;...2.to mold or shape by training...3. to develope... SYN.--form denotes the arrangement of the parts of a thing that gives it its distinctive appearance and is the broadest term here, applying also to abstract concepts;... Well anyway if you're still readin here's Style, tried it found
style n. ...1. a sharp, slender, pointed instrument... wait, wait, wait that's not what I want... 3) ...b)specific or characteristic manner of expression, execution, construction or design, in any art, period, work,employment, etc.... 4) distinction, excellence, originality, and character in any form of artistic or literary expression... and a bunch more, about fashion and such, but I think I've hit what I want to hit. Plus I'm ready to stop typing from the dictionary.

Anywhoo, I think I'm with Joanie, Form is more appropriate. But that doesn't mean that the use of Form and Style shouldn't still be under debate. What do you think?

Queryingly,
JP
