Clarence Clemons - RIP

Lindisfarne,

It is poor form to use numbers rather than spell out in prose, i.e. your use of "2" rather than "two." You may also want to examine the proper uses of the ellipsis. An ellipsis is not a stand-in for for example, id est (i.e.) or e.g. (example given).

And finally, RIP Big Man. This thread is about the passing of a much-beloved musician not grammar.

Lindisfarne: the comma goes inside the quotation marks, dewsh.

RIP Big Man. You will be missed.

Jeffreybowman2k,
I read your post about 3 minutes ago, and I am still belly laughing. (for real) Dewsh...I wish I had thought of that!

Lindisfarne has shown on a least two ocassions this week that he is a douche. What a treat he must be to know or work with. NOT!

RIP Clarence, you will be well remembered for giving it your all every time you played.

The punctuation inside the quotations mark rule is shifting. Grammarians are in protest, but popular usage is clearly moving to outside the marks. Further proof that it's still a living language.

According to Mr. Springsteen he was playing at a club on the Jersey during a strong thunderstorm. At some point the lights went off and the wind blew the doors to the club wide open. Another flash of lightning, the lights come back on and standing in the doorway was the Big Man. He later was invited on to the stage and both agreed, it was like magic.
