Welcome to "the org", tommyalma

Welcome to "the org", tommyalma; for 50 milion dollars, I'll seriously consider it! Huh?

million has two l's - not as bad as the peckerwood thing, but worth mentioning.

also, the punctuation should go inside the quotes, such as the following:

Welcome to "the org," tommyalma;...

Also, why do I have the Report msg to moderator option in my preview? Quick! I must report myself to Ben!

Firstly, you failed to start two sentences correctly.

Secondly, the original reference to 'the Org' should strictly have used single quotation marks rather than double quotation marks.

Thirdly, if single quotation marks had been used, the sentence would have been punctuated correctly. Instead, you fail to notice the incorrect use of double quotation marks, and therefore compound the error by mistakenly suggesting that the comma should be situated within the closing double quotation mark, when it should be placed after a closing single quotation mark.

Compare the following:

Use of single quotation marks: http://englishplus.com/gr...000110.htm

Use of double quotation marks: http://englishplus.com/gr...000103.htm

Commas and introductory words or phrases: http://englishplus.com/gr.../00073.htm

Commas with quotations: http://englishplus.com/gr.../00089.htm

Langebleu, I think you should be the new moderator. You could lock all of Nep2nes threads for spelling errors.

What kind of point are you making when you say, "if single quotation marks had been used..." um, because they weren't used, which is why I brought it up.

In addition to your stellar corrections, all your URLs are bad. Everybody else was nice, what's up your ass?

You're wrong!
