Interesting Articles

Title (from article) [Use as title of post. Not Interesting articles {date}.]

[What is the topic? Factual Introduction]

[My Thoughts]

Recently, I came across {this article} in Publication. It says, [summary of article]

Quote:

[Concluding sentence.]

Grammar Knowledge 1/19/09

Use of commas:

Which of the following sentences is punctuated correctly?



Which one is it?

A man who hopes to succeed must work hard. A man, who hopes to suceed, must work hard. A man who hopes to succeed, must work hard. A man, who hopes to suceed must work hard.

Hint: Look for the restrictive clause.

And the answer is . . . .

[Template Instructions: The question title is “Grammar Knowledge {date}” and the answer title is “Grammar Answer {date}” Date is the question date. The Answer is placed back in the blog at an unused date. “Which one is it?” must be centered under the picture. Post both the question and the answer in one place (WORD). Copy the table with the questions to the answer area. Beware of the CENTER command: it is in the bottom table but not the top. Use the Excel SS as a guide for blog addresses. Copy the question part from WORD to Blogger and post. Record the address into Excel. Select an empty date and copy the answer. Record the Blogger address to Excel. Last step. Update the crosslinks: question to answer, and back.]

The answer is 1!

The rule is:

Do not use commas to set off restrictive (necessary) clauses or phrases.

Answers 2, 3, and 4 all contain commas setting off the restrictive clause "who hopes to succeed".

A man who hopes to succeed must work hard. A man, who hopes to suceed, must work hard. A man who hopes to succeed, must work hard. A man, who hopes to suceed must work hard.

Once, while flipping through tv channels, I stopped at C-Span when I heard someone say something like, "The most discriminated-against group in America today are Right-Wing Christians. The Press doesn't understand them and what little they do understand of them, they don't like." The moderator of the panel discussion quickly cut him off and said something about getting back to the topic of discussion which was discrimination in the newsroom. Another panelist began speaking, saying the things you would expect and I turned the channel. But before doing that, I marked down Michael Barone as a man I would watch in the future.

He has written a remarkable series of books, the most widely known and used is in the banner.
