Having been raised by a pair of school teachers, I really enjoy helping others learn. Give me a topic, and I can research and expound for hours. :-)
I've been working with a group of local authors, both in proofreading and critiquing their works, as well as getting help from them on mine.

“Plan not to retire” or “Plan to not retire”? @Tao, you're right about "Plan not to retire" not being the same as the implied "Not plan to retire". Thanks for pointing it out. The "doing something NOT" form is often expressed using an opposite form of the word instead of an actual negative. Instead of "doing something good" someone could be "doing something NOT good", mostly expressed as "doing something bad". Make sense? |

Is it more correct to say “repeat”, or “resay”? Thanks for bringing this up. I was looking forward to explaining, but you beat me to it. :-) |

How to pronounce “s” at end of word when next word starts with “s” I find that the /s/ at the beginning of the following word to disappear, and the /z/ ending the first word is extended to take both parts. |

Should I capitalize a contraction at the beginning of a sentence? I wouldn't call that an abbreviation. It is a contraction, right? |

An alternative to quotation marks As the OP specifically stated that he can't use text formatting, once the italics are removed, the examples might be confusing, though the parentheses help. |
