Is that why you let him off the hook for the comma outside the quotation
marks, or did you fail to notice such a flagrant violation of the rules
of punctuation? As Lord you have an obligation to the serfs: If your
going to critique there writing, make sure you look at punctuation to.

We need a ruling. Are there any genuine literati here? What's the deal
with punctuation and mid-sentence quotes? I thought that punctuation is
supposed to be placed inside the quotes, even when it's not actually
part of the quote. Lately, though, I see a lot of people placing
punctuation after the quote (which frankly seems more logical, even if
technically incorrect). Is this language evolution, or just another
example of many people simply not knowing the "rules?" Or have I just
been wrong all along?

George, if I remember correctly Strunk and White ("Elements of Style") agree
with you. I was taught that as well, although I always thought it a bit
weird.

Hi RATs!

OK, I don't read these Internet things in sequence

Mr. J has me very confused. In my experience there are only two types
of pub:

1. First Rate

2. Closed

Live entertainment, when present, is all the same: Wretched.

Once in a while there is a pretty barkeep or waitress, but, not enough
to truly make the saloon special. OK, Linda R. at Faces was the
exception. How many beautiful barkeeps visit their patrons in hospital?

So, Eyesore, are you really a sound man, ("toast" "toast") or just
teasing Angre?

Happy Ears!

I mix bands from time to time, yes. In recent times mainly here..... just
Thursdays, Fridays or Saturdays though.

Maybe you're thinking about it a little too much?

I actually *like* the word "micing."

You're probably not a computer geek because (and this was always my
impression of
you) you use up 99.9% of yuor geek-dom on music/audio, so there isn't
any left to
go around to other areas of interest.

But geezmabeezus if ya gwan to verb up words, and complain about
apostrophic catastrophes after micing, why not use the whole dang verb
and decline the declension and say "I microphoned it".
