happythoughts 0 #1 October 25, 2005 clicky QuoteWomen's rights activists in Nepal have hailed a Supreme Court order to end discrimination against women during their menstrual cycle. There is a tradition in parts of Nepal of keeping women in cow-sheds during their period. The practice is common in far western districts of the country. These liberals have gone too far this time.

wmw999 2,589 #4 October 25, 2005 And here I saw a thread with a title like this and thought "WTF is this doing in Bonfire?" BTW -- a grammar question -- does the icon belong inside or outside the quotation marks? Punctuation goes inside, so you guys might just get to determine the grammar rule on what exactly an icon is , Also, I'd think that women should go to the cowshed just before their period for PMS, not during (but I'd've expected some guy to post that one).

My vote is outside the quotation marks. Well it's a 50-50 guess...My reality and yours are quite different. I think we're all Bozos on this bus.

Punctuation goes inside, so you guys might just get to determine the grammar rule on what exactly an icon is [Tongue], Bloody Americans, forcing their standards on an international board ! Punctuation marks belong outside the quotation marks, unless they form part of the quote, or the quote forms the entire sentence. However, with respect to icons/emoticons/smileys on dz.com, I vote that they be considered as modifiers to a sentence, and therefore belong prior to the deliniating period. /pedant Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites azureriders 0 #14 October 26, 2005 QuoteOoooo, this would be good to go into the "Rant time: Do the educational faults of today lie with students, or teachers?" thread since they have recently been debating grammatical errors.
