Derek of 2 days - we don't do tired jokes... |
|
|
<psst> Po...are you sure? |
|
|
only mine and yours at a ppppppush... |
|
|
for feck sake its po...ppppppo |
|
|
We are sure there should be some apostrophe's and some plural "s"'s in that previous annotation .... |
|
|
Po, I know it's you! It's OK - everything's
fine. |
|
|
but it's a little pppp; its the little p in important to me. |
|
|
Po, I'm sure it is. I used a little "p", but it
was at the start of a sentence. Even if I
start a sentence with a perfectly quiet little
word like "even", it needs capitalization -
but it's a lowercase capital rather than an
uppercase capital. If
I ever write 'Po' in the middle of a
sentence, I'll remember to use a little P. |
|
|
its po wherever it comes in the sentence believe me. |
|
|
but then I'd have to eschew the use of
capitals at the start of sentences! |
|
|
I have a solution. When quoting part of
a sentence that didn't originally have a
capital letter, it's customary to insert it
parenthetically, like this: |
|
|
"[I]t's po wherever it comes in the
sentence", commented a sPokesperson. |
|
|
So, you can be [P]o when you happen at
the beginning of a sentence, then it's
clear. Of course, if you'd have the
sense to avoid turning up at the start of
my sentences, this dilemma would not
arise. |
|
|
[P]o, how does that grab you? |
