Not spelling? What are you on about? It's not a grammar issue. I'm talking about titles for the 'Life' challenge.
I mean c'mon it wasn't just one person otherwise I wouldn't have said anything.
Not to be picky 'eh? but you are... next time I'll make it spellcheckER to be accurate. |

Perhaps certain people (no names) should spend more time taking pictures, and less time correcting people's spelling errors, cause the last time I checked this was a photography website, not high school.

I think you'll find that there's an apostrophe before 'cause' ie, 'cause - since the 'be' is missing! :D

I believe that the period goes inside the single quotation mark. I also believe that the single quotation marks should be regular quotation marks. Please correct me if I am wrong!

No, it's as much a spelling error as "probablly." "Dieing" isn't a word at all. "Dyeing" (turning things new colors) may be the other word you're thinking of.

There are various schools of thought on this one. Broadly speaking, British English places the period outside the quotation marks unless the entire sentence is within those marks. North American English tends to place them inside. The same holds true for the use of single or double quotation marks; regional variations exist.
As an academic editor living in Japan where writers come from all over the world, I try and keep the style consistent within any article rather than enforce a rigid style throughout the journal.
I would caution against the use of the word 'should' (single quotation marks are appropriate here) because of its authoritarian overtones, especially in an environment where one isn't sure of the exact conventions.
When in doubt, check with a recognised style guide, like the Chicago Style Manual. |

As long as we are at it, it is since, not sence
It should be I instead of i

Wllm Shakspere is just plain butchered, although your post indicates he may have done so himself!
known to have creates past tense, so it should be signed rather than sign
OK, got it out of my system. I will never again correct any spelling or grammar in these forums! ;)
