- bmelton 16y agoI downmodded your comment because you misspelled misspelled as misspelt. I didn't actually, but c'mon.
- bockris 16y agoOT: I saw a thread on Reddit or Slashdot that featured this chain of replies. >>Grammer tip: 'Effect' is used as a noun. 'Affect' is used as a verb. >Spelling Tip: Its "Grammar" Punctuation Tip: It's "It's".
- anamax 16y agoIsn't the final "." supposed to be inside the quotes? IIRC, that's one of the rules that I intentionally break. IMHO, the stuff inside quotes should have whatever punctuation it needs and there should be sentence-appropriate punctuation outside the quotes as well.
- maw 16y agoIt varies from country to country. And from style guide to style guide. Also, just for what it's worth, affect and effect can both be both nouns and verbs.

- bmelton 16y agoThe one I try to pay attention to is when you're quoting, and continue afterwards. "He said that he was finished," he stated. (For example) -- but only because I can't think of a more appropriate use of punctuation there, really.
- steveklabnik 16y agoIsn't 'spelt' just the British spelling of "spelled?" Would that mean that 'misspelt' is misspelled, does that turn the word irregular?
- robinduckett 16y agoDon't know why you got downboated, considering you're correct, and that guy isn't.
