What is the proper way to punctuate this?

Thx

I had been involved in the business as far as I was concerned 30 years: 15 years at Pepsi; 15 years at Descartes.

Thanks, LeAnne.  Sometimes I get a little too hyphen happy.  :-)

Year end 2007 in your example. 

Year-end books, year-end figures, year-end accounts.

Which is correct, year-end 2007 or year end 2007?

Thanks!

During the time period when you took over the accounts through year end 2007 was one of the issues that you discussed on the telephone

Thanks, for your help.  I'll pass these along to her.

Thanks, Quyen.  I did not cap it.

@Janiece: I would not cap Hon. That makes it look like an abbreviation for Honorable, direct reference to a judge.

Kelli, I stick STRICTLY to The Gregg Reference Manual and make no exceptions. I don't believe in "exceptions" to grammar/punctuation. No Morrison's, no Margie Wakeman Wells or whatever.

Kudos to you and your patience in training your scopist. :)

Kelli, I really like Lillian Morson's guide for court reporters.  It's easy to find things.  I have an older version so I don't know what the current one is like.  I bought Margie's book too but I think it is difficult to find what you're looking for.

Does anyone have a good book about punctuation and English that I can send to my scopist, so she can learn how to punctuate a little bit better?
