I Have seen so many internet users make these ''blunders'', I took it upon Myself to Research about these little details in English Language that are Neglected. I will Try to Keep it Simple. 1. Comma (,) : Space ONCE after a Comma. 2. SEMI COLON (; ) : Space Once After a Semi Colon. 3.HYPHEN (-) : ''NO SPACE'' before or After a Hyphen. 4.COLON (: ) : Space ''TWICE'' after a Colon. 5.Space ''TWICE'' after the Punctuation mark at the end of each sentence for PERIOD (.) , QUESTION MARK (?) , EXCLAMATION MARK (!) 6. Space ''ONCE'' after a PERIOD(.) Used with Initials or Titles 7. Space "ONCE" before an OPEN PARENTHESIS ( , No Spaces after it. 8. Space "ONCE" after a Closed PARENTHESIS ), No spaces before It. 9. "NO SPACE" between the number and the Number Sign(#) (The sign before a number is read 'Number'). When Placed after a Number it means 'Pounds'. 10. Space "ONCE" before and after the ampersand ( & ). 11. Space "ONCE" before and after the AT SIGN ( @ ) , Except In E-mail addresses . 12. "NO SPACE" before or After the FORWARD SLASH (/) |

All these I already knew. Why do Americans use double hyphens in place of commas sometimes? [UPDATE] No need, found out already. For those interested google the phrase "em-dash". I guess Americans make grammar more fun compared to their stiff yet slowly changing minded-cousins across the pond. |
