Thanks for the help. The double-results thing was my copy error, it's not like that in my essay. You've gotten me addicted to the word superfluous. I just like to vary my thank yous, lol. ^_^

EDIT: And just to check,:

Quote:
 
"dangerous actions may have dangerous results",

The comma goes after the quotations, correct? Thankyaw.

EDIT2: I think that in "If they had only observed the theme 'dangerous actions may have dangerous results', that...", that there is a comma needed after the word "theme", because the sentence still works without the "dangerous actions may have dangerous results", and that putting commas around it sets it off. Like when you give a name 'I, Jeff, give...", etc.

I'm pretty sure the comma goes before the quotation marks.

Are you sure? Here's another example (with that rule applied):

Looks good to me. Check with the others first, but I'm pretty sure that's right.

... Yes, I stated that earlier too.

The period goes inside the quotes. Same with the comma in the second example.

Yup. Two questions on an essay I'm writing about Romeo and Juliet por favore.

Please just tell me if I used that semicolon properly.

I've used words starting with 'accept' around five times already, can you please tell me how to rephrase that so I don't have to use accept.

THANK YOU!

Semicolon is fine.

I use WordWeb, I couldn't find an alternative that I thought fit properly, any suggestions?

All hail Neo!

I'm having a debate with a fellow...

Do you capitalize the word queen in this sentence...

"The bed is fit for a queen."

no, it is not referring to a specific queen. if it WAS i wouldn't be sure, but in this case definitely not.
STUMPY WAS RIGHT. HIS TOUCHING SOLILOQUY HAS MOVED ME, TRULY A MANIPULATOR OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE. I HAVE ALLOWED HIM USAGE OF HIS PREVIOUS ACCOUNT.

Lmao. May I ask, how did you get into an argument with this man? Is he related to you? Otherwise it may be a little creepy.

I met him on Myspace. He promised me free candy so I'm meeting him tomorrow at the McDonalds. Alone. Naked.

P.S. Yes, he's related to me. And I'm still meeting him at McDonalds. Alone. Naked.
