Hi, Janiece.

What you have ("approved" approved) looks like the best way to do that.

Comment by Janiece Young on January 22, 2014 at 15:49

How do you punctuate this? I don't know how to do the "approved approved."
Thanks!!!

A. From my understanding, the extension, even when you got it back signed from the customer, it still wasn't "approved" approved.

Melinda...According to Morson, at the start of a sentence it's A.m.

Janiece...Your comma looks good there.  It stands for a missing word/words, right?

Comment by Glen Warner on December 24, 2013 at 6:38

The comma looks right there ....

Comment by Janiece Young on December 23, 2013 at 9:36

Would you put a comma in between "times" and "total" in the question?

Thanks,

Janiece


A. I'd say, me personally, ten.
Q. Ten times, total?
A. Yes.

How would you start a sentence with p.m.?

P.m.?

P.M.?

or

p.m.?
