Proof of my abilities to control the English language properly, must I explain everything to you? Of course with a name like Bubba...should've known.
Here is the problem:
It's an informal post. is this sentence still legible without the first letter being capitalized? does it confuse you? I hope not.
the same goes for quotations. whether it's done properly or not I don't care. As long as a half-wit can read it I'm happy. The bad news is this board is full of smaller-fraction-wits who never learned to think outside their little (and I do mean little) box of a brain.
Here we go again with an example:
"..." - Jo Blow = quote
"..."..."" - Eddie Izzard = quote
ANY amount of words, represented above by elipses for the mentally challenged posters, surrounded by quotation marks and with a name trailing at end separated by a dash IS A QUOTE. Not so hard eh? Hey, is this as easy as Hooked On Phonics? I'm asking because I'm sure you were and are a customer. Marginal is a good word for your ability, you're right there on the "held back a grade" line.
The Izzard quote was from a transcript, which used quotes to denote when Izzard was quoting- as it should. When I quoted the transcript I copied it, pasted it, put quotation marks around it and added " - Eddie Izzard" at the end. Do I care it was not perfect? No. Should a moron be able to read this without problem? Yes. So which of you complained that you couldn't read it? Please raise your hand and I'll hand out signs for you to wear.
