| Bashing-om | Discourse acting up - this may take a bit longer to complete :( | 01:45 |

| guiverc | ack, and yeah I noticed (error, or slow viewing pages) | 01:46 |
| Bashing-om | UWN: Saturday ops completed - saved and out. | 02:21 |
| * guiverc seeing ""Xfce 4.20pre1" rather than '"Xfce 4.20pre1' in raw view, may need tweak.. | 02:55 | |
| guiverc | I'm not fussed as regards Michael Larabel's plucky puffin post... increasing exposure where it is makes sense to me... | 03:01 |
| guiverc | double space I think in Ubuntu OnAir: DMB post "This video shows a special" | 03:03 |
| Bashing-om | guiverc: Attempting to fix ^ :D | 03:21 |
| guiverc | I could have.. sorry focused mostly elsewhere.. listing in hopes of reminding myself when I relook | 03:23 |
| guiverc | you also had "." and "!" inside quotes; when I completed HSC (high school certificate) we were warned strongly not to do that, as grammar rules said our own words didn't complete correctly... I'd probably reword last sentence to avoid use of "!" and starting quote with "Test.." or upper case character.. | 03:26 |
| * guiverc now considers grammer rules change over time.. my hsc was so long ago rule no longer applies.. but its why i react/notice that.. | 03:27 | |
| Bashing-om | guiverc: Grammer rules for quoting - now I must check - could be my memory fails me :D | 03:32 |
| guiverc | I'm not reliable in regards grammar rules.. but I recall somethings the HSC teacher warned us about a number of times prior to coming exams.. | 03:33 |
| guiverc | (we were allowed to use your spelling, eg. color, flavor and not conventional colour, flavour etc.. but we HAD TO BE CONSISTENT otherwise spelling markdowns...) | 03:34 |
| * guiverc off walking pup... hopefully see a birb or two too... | 03:37 | |
| Bashing-om | guiverc: My source says punctuation marks go inside the quote mark for direct quotes: https://www.yourdictionary.com/articles/examples-indirect-quotes . | 03:38 |
| guiverc | thanks Bashing-om , if it's good as is, leave it. | 04:50 |
| Bashing-om | guiverc: We do aim for perfection - and too much on my mind to keep all on an even keel :( | 04:52 |
| Bashing-om | guiverc: A cause for our differences for quote usage - "Place punctuation marks inside quotation marks" > https://www.grammarly.com/blog/punctuation-capitalization/quotation-marks/ - where Britis English has a difference from American English. | 05:03 |
| guiverc | yeah well i'd have learnt english english... I used an oxford dictionary at school | 05:05 |
| Bashing-om | \o/ | 05:06 |
| guiverc | 'fount' was correct spelling for what we'd all say is font today in my school dictionary... font wasn't yet an 'acceptable' variation | 05:17 |
| Bashing-om | Oh My - those days (school) were so long ago - a wonder that I am still around :P | 05:25 |
| guiverc | only discovered it (fount in dictionary) when I eventually read a british mag that kept using 'fount' so I looked in my dictionary & according to my dictionary it was correct (and only spelling) of 'fo[u]nt' .. dictionary was rather old though | 05:32 |
| Bashing-om | and 'fount' here is short for fountain :P | 05:40 |
