Perhaps I wasn’t clear in my last post. At least, I wasn’t clear enough for new people visiting my blog from the Broadway discussion board. And for that, I apologize.
As “jmi” points out: “She didn’t really say anything in the blog other than that her friend found this thread. What’s interesting about that? We all found this thread too. ;-)”
Yes, indeed.
Here is why I posted the link to the thread on my blog:
1. Because I love it when people have in-depth discussions about grammar, punctuation and style
2. Because “gusto” posted (with gusto) that he/she had the only correct answer (“These are the rules”), when he/she was quite wrong according to a number of stylebooks. My favorite, the AP Stylebook, allows only quotation marks for composition titles.
3. Because Shane Marshall Brown saw the thread and thought of me. I love that people think of me when they see language mistakes or language discussions.
So thank you, “jmi,” for reminding me of the importance of considering my audience.
