Extractions: Bronze Printer-friendly version by Jean Hollis Weber Too many editors focus on the details and don't pay enough attention to the bigger picture. Editors canand shouldadd even more value through substantive, technical, and usability editing. Copyediting is important, but the details are only part of what an editor can and should be reviewing. After all, a document can be correctly spelled and punctuated, grammatically correct, use only approved terminology, and follow the style guide perfectlyand still not serve the audience's needs. This article covers some reasons why editors focus on details and not the bigger picture; describes how much attention technical communicators should pay to formal rules of grammar, punctuation, and usage; and describes how we can distinguish between essential and nonessential rules of grammar, punctuation, and usage. Some reasons for an editorial focus on details have to do with editors themselves; other reasons arise from the perceptions and priorities of managers and writers.

Extractions: Grammar and Punctuation Hints Grammar, spelling, and punctuation. In each of my classes, a certain percent of your final grade on every assignment is based on mechanics. In the "real world," the impact of your overall ability and performance often stems from the details, including how well you communicate in writing and verbally. To help you review (or, God forbid, learn for the first time) the "rules" for writing in business, review the new items on my web site on the standard rules for punctuation, grammar, numbers, capitalization, and word division. While this will not catch you up on 12+ years of English, it might help you make better decisions about how to type the number in a paragraph. It won't help you if you don't use it, though! Sentence structure, spelling, and punctuation errors will take away from the overall effectiveness of your message and, of importance to you for your grades, will reduce your grade significantly. Proofread after it gets cold. Have someone else help you proofread. Check every sentence to make sure it is not a run-on or a fragment.

Once there, you would lay claim to an entire table so you could lay out encyclopedias, dictionaries, English books to help with punctuation and sentence structure. Now, term papers and writing assignments are as easy as turning on your computer. With a good word processor and a connection to the Internet, an A on your homework or a job promotion for your presentation is only a keystroke away. T he Internet can be a wonderful source of information for anyone who is looking for help with English or in writing letters, stories or essays. Of course, the best idea is to go straight to a search engine such as Infoseek, Yahoo or Alta Vista for help. A large number of the sites related to grammar are linked to each other. Everything is available on the Internet; grammar rules and examples of each; colleges that contain lessons and tests; explanations of punctuation rules and sites that merely 'talk' about the English language and the rules governing it. There are even sites that have all of the above. I have attempted to find a large sampling of the previously mentioned web sites that deal with grammar, punctuation, and writing.
ELI Grammar Hotline -- Spelling, Capitalization, Hyphenation
ELI grammar Hotline. capitalization inside quotation marks follows the same rules as outside the first letter of a sentence should be captalized.
http://www.udel.edu/eli/g03.html

Extractions: Capitalization, and Hyphenation Q. (from Jon) If a hyphenated word is used at the start of a sentence, should both components be capitalized, or only the first component? For example, would it be correct to write the following: High-Strength materials were used to construct the cable. A. Jon, only the first component of hyphenated words at the start of sentences should be capitalized, for example High-strength materials were used to construct the cable. Patrick Q. Should the "P" in president be capitalized? A. The P in president should be capitalized when it is used as a title, for example President Bush. Otherwise, it should not be capitalized. Patrick Q. (from Paul) I always use "thank's" because I think "thanks" is a bastardization . I often run into grammatical mazes due to my British childhood. Sometimes I spell things as in the mother tongue (colour, aeroplane, etc.). So, all this considered, is my "thank's" correct or is my partner right when she says it's "thanks". Thank's (or thanks)

Extractions: Capitalization Return to Grammar Center Return to Academic Center Home Page Use capitalization to indicate proper nouns, specific geographical locations, professional titles preceding names, etc. To determine if a word should be capitalized, consult a dictionary. Capitalize academic subjects only when referring to the specific course's full name and number. C apitalize only names of academic subjects that relate to languages. When people's titles are used without their names, only capitalize the titles when they refer to individuals with high rank. Capitalize "north, south, east, and west" only when referring to specific regions but not when discussing a specific direction. Ex: My mother grew up in the South.

Extractions: Christine Miller Spelling: 1st through 6th Grades Orthography is the study of the elementary sounds, letters, and syllables of our language. Therefore phonics is a branch of orthography, as is penmanship. Spelling is also considered a part of orthography. The teaching of penmanship is considered in the article, Writing in the Grammar Stage , therefore for our purposes we will discuss phonics and spelling here. In our homeschool, we teach orthography in 1st and 2nd grades. We teach spelling throughout the grammar stage, from 1st through 6th grades. It is imperative that children learn to read through phonics instruction. There are several reasons for this. The first is the most obvious: the English language is a phonetic language. In other words, unlike the Chinese, whose language is a pictoral one, with every word taken in its totality to mean something unique, our language is based on a set of characters, called letters, each with specific sounds associated with them. It is only common sense that phonetic languages are learned phonetically, and that pictoral languages like Chinese are learned by a look-say or some other method. Grammar Curriculum page.

Extractions: June 2003 Orthography is the study of the elementary sounds, letters and syllables of English. The study of orthography entails phonics instruction for learning to read and spell, and writing letter forms and penmanship. Etymology is the study of the classification, derivation, and properties of words. During the study of etymology, children will learn to alphabetize, break words into syllables, use the dictionary and library, distinguish between homophones, homonyms, heteronyms, synonyms, and antonyms, use and spell compound and contracted words, class words by part of speech (noun, pronoun, adjective, verb, adverb, prepositions, conjunctions, and interjections), distinguish when the same word is being used as different parts of speech, how to make nouns plural and use verbs in their different tenses, Greek and Latin roots of English words and their meanings, add prefixes and suffixes to roots, and the changes in meaning and part of speech that adding affixes causes words to undergo, and the capitalization rules. Syntax is the study of the proper construction of sentences. Children will learn the parts of a sentence, (subject, predicate, phrase, and clause), the science of sentence analysis, or sentence diagramming, and the punctuation rules.

Extractions: This appendix contains the grammar of PXL parameter definitions. Capital words denote terminal symbols, lower case words correspond to expandable language symbols. Some of the terminal symbols correspond to keywords of the language. These are given in the following table. Note that the terminal symbols BLOCK and DISPLAY may be specified by two different keywords each, one being a shorthand notation of the other. There are four exceptions to the capitalization rules for terminal symbols, these are the keywords TRUE FALSE ON , and OFF Terminal Symbol arg ARGUMENTS B BLOCK block BLOCK D DISPLAY display DISPLAY end END FALSE FALSECONST from FROM OFF OFFCONST ON ONCONST startup STARTUP step STEP stimuli STIMULI to TO TRUE TRUECONST var VARIABLES The following list was created by simply deleting the semantic production rules of the YACC implementation of the parser.
