Apr 26	comment	When is it appropriate to use the title “Miss” as opposed to “Ms.”? @gbjbaanb "master" for a young boy is still being used on the subcontinent. They even have an abbreviation for it, I think it's Mtr.

Apr 26	comment	How to address a letter to a Ph.D.? Dear Dr. _____ (as should be obvious)
Apr 26	comment	Difference in male vs female use of the English language A well-known example :p
Apr 26	comment	Which definition of commitment is correct in this sentence? Can't believe this Answer hasn't received a single upvote yet after 15 hours. People, what are you hoarding your upvotes for? Can't take 'em with you lol
Apr 26	comment	“I run in the subway” @Emanuel I'd be a poor interpreter if I had to look up common words in dictionaries :) Anyway, not only am I in agreement with Mitch that `I run in the subway` (present continuous would have been the better choice) is jarring to an American ear, `Ich laufe in der U-Bahn` is, too, to a German ear, although less so. Try it with your German friends. Some will surely ask, `Meinst Du im U-Bahn-Waggon? Oder im Tunnel?`
Apr 26	comment	“Separated” versus “separate” +1 Nicely said.
Apr 26	answered	“Separated” versus “separate”
Apr 26	comment	Punctuating Quoted Questions in a Parenthetical Clause I find this confusing. Agree that Asker's punctuation in the example is fine as is (unless the style guide mandates otherwise). But `(As with the period here).`? Did you mean `(Unlike the period here).`? In any case, while style manuals differ on whether to place the period (fullstop) inside or outside of a sentence-ending parenthesis if the parenthesis is not the entire sentence, all manuals I have read insist that it go inside the closing parenthesis if the parenthesis is the sentence.
Apr 26	comment	Punctuating Quoted Questions in a Parenthetical Clause Nothing wrong with your punctuation. No need to improve.
Apr 26	comment	If an adjective is removed, what's the consequence? @FumbleFingers Why not turn this into an Answer?
Apr 26	comment	Term for exaggerations such as “always”, “never”, “constantly”, and so on I believe that never, always, constantly are all temporal adverbs or perhaps I should say frequency adverbs. They are not used for exaggeration or hyperbole. However, you might say they are used for emphasis as they categorically state how often something happens.
Apr 26	comment	How do I use 'refer to'? I hereby copyright Refer Madness as the title of an upcoming movie.

Apr 25	comment	“All our X” vs. “all of our X” My version is a bit more colloquial than yours but both are correct.
