Both my spelling and grammar have improved since I began hanging around here. I have managed to lose some great responses while off fact, spell or grammar checking my post. Get my answer and when I return the post is gone! Have taken to checking before beginning my post. Also, I have loosened up what I ignore as far as others posts.

Oh, you have to loosen up to read up around here--just breathe and let go.

And never mind your inability to correctly punctuate what you've just written. You didn't even bother with a period. :(

If it's a single declaratory sentence on an internet forum, do we really need a period at the end to let us know it's ended? :D

Would putting a period kill you? Is there a difference between three ellipses and four?

Personally, I think that only rather unpleasantly priggish individuals would act as though they didn't know how typing on a handset is. But it fits to the tedious piling up of molehills in yhe hope of finding a mountain that we've been watching the liberals excel at.

Too late, all the baby killers, homosexuals and other assorted perverts/weirdos y'all support already did it.

Old film "DC Cab." Your post reminds of a quote about prepositions.

1:Hey man were working hard doing the best we can and all you wanna do is close us down, where’s a cat like you at?
2:If you had any education you’d now you don’t end a sentence with a preposition.
3:Oh OK so where you at GLASSBOWL!

My edit for the last word.

From the Chicago Manual of Style [bolding mine]: "Don’t ever put two periods in a row. Put one period at the end of a declarative sentence, even if it ends with an abbreviation or a URL." FAQ Item

You could choose "place" or "add," but in a conversation like this, you invite somebody waxing recondite.:mrgreen:

Don't you have to specify where you are "putting" the period? Never heard of "put a period." It's gotta go somewhere!
You can put a period IN. You can put a period AFTER. Putting, unless it's the golf term, usually needs some help, no?

Do you really pronounce "put" the way you do "putt"?

OK. I have gone to the expert. My sister in law is a retired English teacher. She is on your side, (you all stick together). She's telling me about 'gerunds' and such. I understood what you were saying because you were replying to a poster. My position is that though you were understood, we were bashing a thread about grammar and spelling, or the lack there of. Technically, I still think my position has merit. The sentence in question doesn't pass the ear test. I went to school when they still diagramed sentences as though it was long division. My sister in law is the final authority, don't you know I'll never hear the end of it! I concede the point with reservations.

:roll:

One last gasp! See attatched: "verb (used with object)"

Cheers, I think it requires an 'object!'

But you didn't answer my question, which has nothing to do with gerunds. Don't you pronounce "put" and "putt" differently?

Check my edit. They are not pronounced the same, but the way you used "putting" and the golf stroke are spelled the same, yes?
Where's the object in the sentence in question? Can you provide another example of the usage of the verb "put" the way you used it above?
Beats the stuffing out of left/right/center bickering, this is important!
