Is there such a thing as a 'Commonly accepted US and UK/Commonwealth Terms' list that is online and available to all? Should PDFs always be PDF's for a US audience, if it is a book?

Copyediting a book for a US audience. I like the styling of *PDFs* more than
I like *PDF's*. But, this kind of thing can be important to the audience.

And words such as 'subentry' should be 'sub entry', and 'AutoCorrect' should
be 'Auto Correct', right?

Is there a reference online for this stuff? Thanks.
