Document Summary

Lecture notes: 9/7/2016: look for contextual clues and narrow it down. Can"t join two independent clauses by a comma: semi-colon is used to acknowledge that you"re joining two independent clauses. You can join a fragment to an independent clause with a comma. Colons are used for lists; must announce this is a list . Ellipses- in dialogue, it means there was more to say but speaker stopped: if changed to in dash, it means speaker was interrupted. As james finnigan said about the ghostbusters reboot, it"s everything you want a remake to be. Four ellipses mean that a sentence was forgotten. Writer still hasn"t changed essential meaning of quote. Make it as innocuous and inoffensive as possible.
