2010 Wishes

[barrysloate]

It's "weird" Jim. Thank you.

I rarely ask folks to say, or not say, anything on the board. That being said I don't think it was necessary to bring back an argumentative thread from 3 weeks ago. Just my 2.5 cents.....

You're right, Leon. Not a good way to start the new year.
I apologize, and my resolution is to hold my tongue.

For 2010, I've decided to switch over from the 206's and focus more on the 213's - 20/80% split; I dunno, something about the 213's I find more attractive than the 206's (maybe it's a Southern thing...)

Also, I wish in 2010 the back and forth "love" banter to continue on this board - quite possibly the BEST male, "soap-opera" around. It certainly takes a little edge off of my work day when I read. Granted, 90% of the time, I'm at a complete loss when the arguments start (I get confused at trying to keep up with all the Joe's, Jim's, and John's - but it's fun!) and I have no idea what anyone is talking about

1. Finish up my '52 Topps with all variations that I know of (or hear of) that can be verified.
2.Love to see those books that have Bruce's collection in them........why do never see any posted pictures of these fabulous pick-ups? Anyone know what the books are?

Barry - you forgot the comma.

Should be:

It's "weird," Jim.

Unless you think Jim is weird, which would be ok, I guess.

Sorry, couldn't resist

The comma should be outside of the quoutes.

"weird",

[GoldenAge50s]

The comma should be outside of the quoutes.

Should be "quotes", Dan!

[rman444]

I am looking it up and I believe that the comma should be inside the quotes.

Shame on you for correcting the person who corrected Barry!

I fixed your post for you Rob.

Thanks for pointing out the comma; I'm not sure but it might be acceptable either way, especially since Jim is weird and misspelled "weird" simultaneously (that was a joke)

As far as placement of punctutation within quotations, at the end of a sentence one would put the quotes after the period. I honestly don't know how that applies in the middle of a sentence. It seems like it should be the same but I would have to look it up.

I see that Anthony has already looked it up, saving me the trouble. Thanks Anthony...because it sure seemed like a lot of work.

[Anthony S.]

Strunk and White would beg to differ. Comma inside the quotes. However, they're dead, so I doubt they'll kick up a fuss.

[Kawika]

Quotes doesn't have a second "u".
(Try saying "kick up a fuss" five times quickly).

Weird Jim

[Jim VB]

Whatever way Barry types it is fine with us.


(He was, of course, correcting a spelling mistake, made by our "administrative assistant." We, immediately, corrected said mistake, and fired the assistant. That's our story and we're sticking to it.)


Sincerely,
