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. |

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. |

If I am quoting a quoter?, how is that done properly. |
|
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. |

"If there was one thing the lucid dreaming ninja writer could not stand, it was used car salesmen."
Thank you Ame' |

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). |

Thank you Amethyst Star. I are properly grammered for today. |
