Unless you're Ms. Truss this is a bit of a knock off IMHO. I have made a few changes to the hyphen section. Removal of second-person ("you") and made more simple. Bullets substituted for (high-maintenance) item numbering. Sue W 21:38, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
Added info that a comma can be used to indicate a pause and cleaned up, make a couple items bold just for consistency.
Is it me, or are the examples given for Quotation marks a little misleading?
Rather than: "Hallie said, 'Mimi, please wash the dishes.'" "'Today,' said our teacher, 'is the first day of the rest of your lives.'"
Shouldn't they be: Hallie said, "Mimi, please wash the dishes." "Today," said our teacher, "is the first day of the rest of your lives."
Complex
This page has been getting steadily more complex. Some users have added far too much from En wiki. Macdonald-ross (talk) 09:00, 8 September 2023 (UTC)
- I actually think this is a good article. I would have expected a separate article for each punctuation mark, but this allows readers to see all the important rules of English punctuation on one page. Kk.urban (talk) 17:07, 3 November 2023 (UTC)
- My reason is based on what is usual in secondary schools for, say, 14-year-olds. Our wiki is, or should be, student-based rather than content-based. Macdonald-ross (talk) 09:50, 16 November 2023 (UTC)
