I know as I get older I have more trouble with spelling and punctuation marks. I'm also thinking about getting one of those voice recognition programs that will type in my words as I say them, then I can go back and organize my thoughts and clean up the language (not). I need all the help I can get.

Geeze, ask me a question I don't know the answer to. I can bulls**t my way through most of what goes on here, but you got me with this one. I know! Let's let AuntiE proof read our stuff and point out where we don't do it right. I am sure she would be up to the task. Heh! Heh! Heh!

The negotiation for the fee were interesting. I read the paper, looked at the threesome and gave them the price. I then looked at the student and said I would drop the price by 1/4th if he agreed to sit with me while I edited and revised so he could see the all of the errors and why they were incorrect. He agreed. To give him credit, he took massive notes on grammar, punctuation and other comments I gave. It was worth the reduction of dollars as he truly wanted to learn for future writing requirements.

As an old person you shouldn't ask that question unless you are funning the recent products of our school system. I do find many leaners who really don't know what they are or how to use them.

Punctuation marks include: commas (,), periods (.), semi colons (;), colons(:), apostrophe ('), quotation ("), question marks (?), exclamation points (!), parenthesis ( () ), hyphens (-), and brackets ( [] ). It is hoped this lesson has been helpful. It is to be noted that I am not greedy like our friend banjo and require no "crossing of the palm" with payment.
Please be aware, I have NO idea how all the smile faces entered this posting. I have tried three times to edit them out. I did not place any smile faces.

I did it with Alex as he has admitted writing is not a strong point. I tend not to pick on him. My ire is focused on those who deem themselves to be SO very important and vested with vast knowledge they must impart to us lesser beings.

Quid Pro Quo, AuntiE: OIllegal is monitoring you as you write, do you suspect?

Damn! there you go picking on and insulting me already today. Although I don't care what others think, I am very self important to me, myself and I, what do you think of that?

I think they come from where and how you used the parenthese around your punctuation you were emphasizing. For example (:) Yep, I was right, now I know why I had a similar problem.
