Quick question, can those of you who have multiple characters denote who it is at the top of your posts? I am trying to follow storylins and am getting confused and mixing up characters.

Thank you!

Umm, I know that I tend to start the post with a reference to the name. Either Hermione, Rowena or Kate (at the moment Pete and Corin as well). What more am I supposed to do? Huge neon signs? As long as you actually read the post, there shouldn't be a problem.

Wouldn't that make life too easy, though?

[Tracy Jane]

So much for going to bed! I see a Shelly out there!

LOL, you're quick! *runs to read and catch up and post*

George- I try and denote my posts with different sigs. Jaime = Jaime's sig, Jensen = Jensen's sig. If I add any more characters, I'll do the same.

I always try to say he or she, or say there name.

"THEIR" name.

There = place ("Put it there")

They're = contraction of THEY and ARE ("They're going to a movie")

Their = possessive ("It's their decision")

Sorry, I'm a bit of a grammar/spelling PITA.

[Tracy Jane]

Well done, Shelly. The technical term for the type of contraction in 'they're' is 'cliticization' (in jumps the former English teacher / syntax student)

i am horrbile at english, i prefer math, so I will leave the english to you guys. But i will try to remember those things, though. Although I probably won't.

If you plan on making your living as an Engineer, you best learn to communicate effectively with the written word. Believe me, if your first written contact with a customer is poorly composed, you may not get another. And if you're dealing with customers out of the US, your English has to be very precise to ensure that it is understood.
I'm not just blowing smoke here. I do that for a living and have been for the last 20+ years.
