Rinnhart,Feb 21 2005, 07:56 PM Wrote:Quick tips to make your english more legible:
- There is always a space after and not before commas (,), periods (.), exclamation marks (!), and question marks (?)
- ,, is improper. There is no situation that more than one comma would be necessary.
- .. is improper. Use one period. The exception is if you want to imply an extended pause in speech. However, that would be three periods, not two.
- Periods and commas are not interchangeable. Commas seperate elements and ideas within a sentence and indicate short delays in the reading. Periods seperate sentences and indicate longer delays.
- Multiple question marks and exclamation points are considered very rude. Do not use them.
- "uncomplete" is a word, but a very clunky one. "Incomplete" would be a better choice. Note: the prefixes "in-" and "un-" are usually not interchangeable. They mean the same thing, but are derived from different root languages.
I second kandrathe's sentiment. If you're serious about learning a language, especially one as difficult as english, I suggest you get help from a teacher of some kind.
