"Nazi" is a proper noun, and thus should be capitalized. Your sentence should also end with proper punctuation. I recommend the exclamation mark, as it sounds like an exciting imperative.

Is it really "Nazi" to expect people to get your/you're and their/there/they're right? Is it really wrong to wish people would learn that masturbate is not spelled "masterbate" and that ridiculous is not spelled "rediculous?" I know it doesn't really change the content, and I know that we can figure out what you really mean when you do that, but.... it makes you look like a retard and takes away from your credibility.
These days I'm happy just to see someone knows the difference between "to" and "too!" Of course learning "me," "myself," and "I" wouldn't hurt either.
Not true. In sentences in which your would normally use a comma but one half of the sentence also contains an unrelated set of commas, you would use a semi-colon; for instance, a list.
"When I went to the store I bought four things; eggs, milk, bread, and some time away from my insane family."
oooh, thanks for that Xaqaria! I'm a "-" abuser, mostly because I fear the proper use of the colon and semi-colon. That little tid-bit might just help me kick the dash/hyphen addiction.
What is the correct way to quote a quoter?
Example;
Seeker quotes shakespeare. The next thread I discuss seekers opinion and about him quoting shakespeare. :huh2:
Just read title and 1st post.
My grammar is appauling.
I have just finished watching "2 weeks notice"
(Yes, that's on topic)

If I am quoting a quoter?, how is that done properly.
Example;
Hi Jason this proverb is useful.
"A man who has committed a mistake and doesn't correct it, is making another mistake" by Confucius.
Hi Joe, Connie emailed this ----?????? Do I quote the author of the proverb and just acknowledge the writer -Connie?
There are two forms of quotation: direct and indirect. Direct quotation is when you're saying something like And she said, "My feet hurt." It's when you are quoting something word for word and then use quotation marks. It also includes when you are quoting something from a book.
Indirect quotation does not require quotation marks. It is when you are discussing what someone said without saying it word for word. For example, you can say: The book went into depth about ***'s study of genetics, noting the depth of the subject.
You can combine direct and indirect quotation in a single sentence. If I wasn't clear, just let me know, or you can look up more on the two types.
Thank you Ame' :)
So I do not quote the person who writes the paragraph, but I still quote the original quote.
But do I recognize the indirect quoter? :confused:
Howie, this "59889wghhghgqo" by Sir mix a lot, was a great album.
now...
I write to a friend.
Ame told me that "59889wghhghgqo" by Sir mix a lot, was a great album.
I do not quote you?
He said that she said that I said :blahblahblah:
Thanks for your help.
You don't put the person who you are quoting in quotation marks, if that's what you mean. In your example, you did it right, also by putting quotation marks around the song (as you would the titles of short stories or poems).
Now you could also say, Ame told me, " '59889...* by Sir mix a lot, was a great album." because you are quoting exactly what I said. That's direct quotation. Since you included the word "that", it became indirect quoting.
Thank you Amethyst Star. I are properly grammered for today. :tongue:
