Hi, Quyen,

I think the way you have it is fine.  I hate that too.

How would you punctuate this:

T as in Tom, R as in Richard, A as in apple, M as in Mary, E as in Edward, K as in kite, A as in apple

Ugh! I hate when witnesses spell like this! This particular witness spelled EVERY SINGLE name this way -- and there were A LOT of them!  >:(

Thanks, Janiece.  Then I would do it like this with one so the question has a question mark:

When you saw the vehicle coming onto the freeway and veering across the lanes, did you say anything to your husband like, "Look out," or "What's he doing"?

I personally would only use one question mark.

Would you just use just one question mark on this question:

When you saw the vehicle coming onto the freeway and veering across the lanes, did you say anything to your husband like, "Look out," or "What's he doing?"?

Disregard that thought of the ampersand not being proper.  It's perfectly fine in business names, acronyms, and other such constructions that call for it.  :)

Normally FF&E is for furniture, fixtures and equipment.  But regardless, I would write it as FF&E for furniture, fixtures and electrical too.

Hi, Tami,

Yes, that was my issue, all those commas.  Thanks for the suggestion.  I'm going to ponder that.  I didn't even have an idea for an option.

I think it's fine as you have it.  It's so convoluted it's going to be confusing no matter what you do.  Another option, just to section off the serial commas, might be:

Q. Okay. So is it your testimony, just to be more specific, that -- as general manager, assistant vice president of transportation, and as vice president of transportation -- you are not made aware when former employees or employees file charges of discrimination against the company?

Yes, I'm doing well.  I'm planning on getting outside this weekend and working in my yard.  The weather is so pretty.  I have editing to do too but not a ton.
