Thanks, Quyen.  LOL, "Oz Land,"  

I don't know why I can't get rules like that to stick in my head. :-)

Comment by Quyen on October 7, 2012 at 8:40

Whether to capitalize Northern or Southern California is preference. Locals (Californians) may want/prefer to capitalize (I do), while you, in Oz Land, might not. Either way, it would be correct.

I can't remember the rule.  If they say "Southern California" do you capitalize "Southern"?  

Thanks,

Janiece

I'd keep it a separate question.

Oops! SandRA.  Sorry ....

Comment by Glen Warner on September 17, 2012 at 12:38

Sandy, I think the answer to your question might be ... "Yes."

Okay, so you didn't actually ask a question, but what you have looks okay to me ...

Comment by Sandra Deschaine on September 17, 2012 at 12:29

I have an attorney asking questions with the word yes after the question.

 

I.E.  So based on your opinion about the scope of the lawsuit is how you determine what documents to bring, yes?  Or  what documents to bring.  Yes?

Comment by LeAnne Law on September 17, 2012 at 11:48

Ugh.  Nothing looks good. 

The only other option I see is:  I notice Anna -- she gave Anna a big birthday party for getting her citizen-, you know, -ship. 

Comment by Christi Massey on September 17, 2012 at 11:30

I think Anna needs to give her/him some English lessons!  LOL

Comment by Janiece Young on September 17, 2012 at 10:55

Yeah, Cindy, there's no way to make it look nice.  Good idea.  :-)
