ATTN anyone that will actually care one way or the other

[EricT]

There are people who DON'T have a problem with him posting here?

 

[Captain Beard]

Yes, but they tend to be silent about it.

 

[Dead_Lioness]

My mom is cooking dinner tonight :Spin: Spin:

 

[Tide In Mind Out]

Yes, but they tend to be silent about it.

It's a losing battle, no point in arguing with the angry mob.

*Although just for the record, Derick and I both don't think he should be banned

 

[Det Som Engang Var]

I don't really give a damn either way. It's amusing to see people get riled up over him, but I don't like the guy so meh.

 

[Chromatose]

I wish I could ban everyone who didn't post in a manner I enjoyed...

 

[EricT]

I don't care if he stays as long as I don't see another picture of him naked...

 

[Chromatose]

I wish I could ban everyone who didn't post in a manner I enjoyed...

but then I'd be all alone

hahahaha

Hey do commas come before or after parenthesis?

 

[Shpongled]

I was taught that they go inside the parenthesis. Same with periods, exclamation points and etc. BUT IT JUST DOESN'T LOOK RIGHT THAT WAY.

EDIT: Wait you're actually talking about quotation marks I believe. The above applies to quotation marks and NOT parenthesis. Puncuation goes OUTSIDE parenthesis.

I was about to poop (in my pants), however, a toilet sprung from the ground and saved the day.

looks right to me

Oops I meant periods. And I agree, it looks so wrong.

 

[EricT]

I've had teachers tell me both. Those teachers and their differing teachings are the reason why I know little to shit about english grammar. Fuck public schooling.

 

[Shpongled]

I'm pretty sure it's:

Puncuation OUTSIDE of parenthesis
Puncuation INSIDE quotation marks

John, you know the difference between parenthesis and quotation marks, right?


Ex.
My name is Kevin (which was given to me by my parents), and my middle name is Mathew with only one "T," so that it's not a biblical reference.

Just doesn't look right, but I'm pretty sure it is.

Actually Kevin, I'm going to be completly honest with you. I've been calling quotation marks parenthesis all my life. I'm not being sarcastic.

 

[Chromatose]

tbh it's certain punctuation inside quotation marks. Periods, commas go inside, exclamation marks go outside, for example. Of course it varies in various situations, but that's generally how it goes. As for paranthesis, I do not know, but I would put them outside because it makes sense.

Yep, I just checked in my SAT review book.

My parents meant to give me my middle name (Matthew) with one "T," but they messed up and wrote with two "T's" on the birth certificate

 

[Cat5Messiah]

I like Behemoth.

 

[Shpongled]

Ahhh punctuation DOES have two T's. I was wondering every time I typed it.
