Re: indieFan's List (was Re: Use Of Punctuation In A Post...)

Unfortunately, it was the word "well".

Re: He/She/They
I prefer not to be politically correct since I feel that it has been taken to extremes. I use "policeman", "fireman", "mailman", and "he" when I write. That's why I had the statement in there. *big grin*

I disagree about "they" being used as a singular, though. While it may have been understood for a long time, it doesn't make it correct grammar. Do you have an actual book or article supporting your argument? I think my book Classical Rhetoric for the Modern Student supports my view. It's been over 10 years since I've read it. Then again, it's the third edition instead of the newer fourth edition.

Re: Underlining vs. Italicizing
Thanks for the reminder about italicizing. I edited my earlier post to include that.

Re: Two spaces after a period
This is what I was taught to do, and I will continue to do so. I guess I'm too set in my ways to stop.
