Closed Threads

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

"Renaissance Man",

I can't stop myself; it's a sickness.The comma goes inside the quote marks.

I might gently add that you might proof it or edit it a bit (I would be happy to help you do so.)

This might help you find geeky girls who are unreasonably turned off by punctuation errors: [link]

Or I might be a freak. But I found Dan through OKC, so it does work. I know a few people married through it.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

In America. Not in England.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

In America. Not in England.

I was wondering about that. My reaction was, "The comma isn't part of the quote. Why would it go in the quote marks?"

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

The comma goes inside the quote marks.

Oh, goodness, the number of arguments I've had over this point. I become weary of it all. Charles, bring me my tonic! faints

I stab in your general direction, Hec. Ptui!

O-A is American. Comma goes IN.

In this, I am English (or Australian). Alas, I live in America, so I corrected it.

Would a disclaimer that says "I suk @ grammer and puntuation n speling" help?

(oh boy, that last line is going to make a lot of eyes wince)

Seriously, thank you all for the help.

eta: A few more edits. Some format clean up. Bullet points for the 6 things. Remove some comma run on sentences. Removed some parenthetical statements. Hopefully improved, and not compounded the errors.

Um. Is this gal in a wedding dress in her pictures? [link] It sure looks like it. Nothing against divorced folk. But it's an interesting choice for pictures on a dating site, no?

Yeah, only if what's in the quotes is not a fragment. Plus, totally changes depending on which style guide is your master.
