    Nope, because I'm also a Sci-Fi/Fantasy writer, and I use American style, because it looks better in print. Dangling commas and periods outside of the quotes may be more logical, but they look silly on the page.

    Proud to have finally moved to the A-Ark. Which one are you in?

    You know what gets me about the US and their use of English at the moment? It's not the incorrect spelling, it's not the odd punctuation rules it's the inability for so many to know when to add 'ly' to a word. I get real angry when I hear it.

        Think different. Blame Apple.


        He said, "Boy I'm just old and lonely, But thank you for your concern, Here's wishing you a Happy New Year." I wished him one back in return.
