Checking usage is helpful too - what does Another Store Gets Faded Out mean? Isn't the expression Phased Out? Not sure what Phasing Out a store involves, so that might be inappropriate too. Isn't fading out a film term? Hmm, so maybe it is appropriate for a camera shop.

THE END

That would really be a good thing.

Instead of spell check letting you know that you have misspelled a word, they should scan for proper grammer and spelling. If YOUR post has a certain amount or percentage of errors, it gets deleted.

This way the adults can have a conversation.


* grammar.

Couldn't reezist.

Any thoughts on the Oxford (or serial) comma?

Example (and keeping with the thread topic):

I have enjoyed going to Skinner's, Barcade, and LITM.

The Oxford comma is the one before "and."


this is the best illustration of this I've seen:



In GB, the comma would be a colon to represent the second sentence.

We invited the strippers: JFK and Stalin.

In GB the first sentence is nonsense. The original second sentence represents the first result set: "strippers, JFK and Stalin".

Spoke to a nice man who told me his son was putting a sports bar where Hudson Camera used to be. I wish them luck, we need a good sports bar in JC!

The question mark should be inside the quotation marks.


only if the title itself is a question, ie: "Are You Smarter than a Fifth-Grader?"

the answer to which, in this thread's case, would be No.


Your "ie" should be e.g.. Sorry. I just HAD to add that or I'd kick myself later.


Oh, that's right! I always mix those up.

The question mark should be inside the quotation marks.

the answer to which, in this thread's case, would be No.

In Great Britain, your correction would be accurate. In America, it is not. I happen to agree with the British rule of grammar on this, but in the good old US of A punctuation is always inside quotes.


Commas and periods go inside the quotes in the US, outside in Great Britain. Question marks and Exclamation points go outside on both sides of the Atlantic (unless, as Biscuit states, the punctuation is actually part of the title).


Thanks!

Punctuation and quotations really all depend on whether you are using MLA, Chicago, AP, APA or some other lesser known style guide. Of course, we all know MLA is the only format that matters.

What a shame that Hudson Camera will be closing! Now I'll never get that roll of film that's been sitting in my Holga for the past two years developed.

I figured it would happen eventually though. It's hard to compete when B&H is so nearby. And most people just use their phones for point and shoot these days.

Hopefully the storefront won't remain vacant for too long.

When someone says something inflammatory like "So your saying that people who have taken no responsibility for their education, who have commited nothing to bettering themselves should be allowed to be pissed becuase people who have worked hard throughout their education and career are moving into their neighborhood," but does so in post including incorrect grammar, incorrect spelling, and generally poor style, attacking their grammar is a lot like saying "let he who is without sin cast the first stone."

So sorry. Didn't read the updated internet rules. So as long as we're talking about gentrification on Newark Ave, consistent bad grammar is acceptable? So I can say that 4+4=17 as long as the post isn't related to math or me saying how great I am at math? Well I learned something new today.


This is exactly the reason for the informal netiquette guidelines, because otherwise every single thread can devolve into a grammar/spelling pissing match. Be forgiving, the poster might be ESL, dyslexic, in a hurry, typing with thumbs, or a dog. It doesn't mean what they have to say is not worth reading.

If you want to post "4+4=17" as your sig go right ahead. If it's a meaningful part of your post, expect disagreement.

It matters because we assume you are an educated adult. It is a reflection of you, like it or not. Sure, we all make typos now and then, but to defend it is ridiculous.

Actually, longtime "netiquette" calls for NOT calling people out on grammar & spelling unless the context opens them up to it, ex: a misspelled post about their superior education. Or it's so extreme as to be unreadable, like a 500 word paragraph.

The rumor that it will become a sports bar is in the opening line of the Hudson Reporter article.
