Ha ha, you have been tricked. I feel that the correct use of the period (full stop for brits) should have been outside the quotation marks, for the reasons already stated (namely that it was not a complete sentance). This error proves the assertion that choobus is as dumb as a bag of rocks, and so by virtue of being wrong, I am in fact right. Sorry Ten, you tried valiantly, but it was a doomed enterprise.
and for the record, I only cut and paste when I am quoting, to avoid the potential of making a mistake and misquoting.
now, just accept the self evident truth that choobus be not smarts innit.
now, who here does anal?
You can always turn tricks for a few extra bucks. If looks are an issue, there's the glory hole option, but don't expect more than ... tips.

Dude... all the circles in this post your beginning to sound like a theist trying to make a point... Come again?
To pray is to verbalize that which some may have difficulty saying aloud in everyday life, in an effort to gain support or smarts from an outside source. I have no need for prayer. I am able to rationalize within my mind, and have no problem speaking it.

It makes perfect sense, what are you on about?

I ran with this thread if for no other reason than I love Pan's logic. :)
I knew I was wrong from the beginning, but hey, 'twas fun.

I would Loooooooooooove to have a great book on all of this grammatical stuff. Could anyone refer me to a decent book that encompasses more than the basics?

The Penguin Guide to Punctuation is excellent!
It is crystal-clear and very quick in conveying exactly how-to-do-it.
And it is a happy and rewarding read.
Its example sentences (of which there are many) are highly-interesting and entertaing in and of themselves.
(It is a thrillingly clean example of crystal clear convection! :D)
Eats, Shoots, and Leaves is a highly-amusing rant against bad/crazy/funny punctuation!
And the author's attitude is so outlandishly "zero-tolerant", that she hilariously sends herself up as she rants.
Get it! It is very funny!
(However, it is not a reference book, it's a read, and I did not find that I had a clear idea of "how to do it" when I'd finished.)
I urge you to get both!
Get the Penguin for an excellent easy-to-eat guide.
Get "Eats, Shoots, and Leaves" as sauce!
[EDIT : Eats, Shoots, and Leaves is funny because the author is *nuts*!]
Healthy genes act as team-players. They are teamish!
Their winning plays are salvations of an aliveness of which they are a part.
Only a fraction of genes are selfish/parasitic (and they parasitize teams).

Eats, Shoots, and Leaves sounds like a great book. I heard the author being interviewed on NPR. Absolutely hilarious.
Anyone know where the title comes from? (Quiet, Pan!) :)

Yeah. Panda bears, if I remember correctly... can't remember the article or whatever it was that the author read.

A guy is sitting in a bar, enjoying his beer, when a Panda bear walks in. The Panda sits down at the bar and orders a hamburger. After finishing the burger, the Panda gets up, pulls out a handgun, and fires point blank at a couple of patrons sitting at a nearby table. The bear then turns and walks out the door.
"What the hell was that!" exclaimed the man.
"Oh, that's a Panda," says the bartender. "He eats, shoots, and leaves."
:D
