> I must say, I am not surprised at your A on this paper. It is very well thought out and written. I had gotten the impression that you were like the many people I know who do not have the background necessary to use good spelling or grammar, although now I see that it is more of a problem I used to have (and sometimes still do) where speed takes precedence over correctness.

Hey thanks, you gave me both a compliment and explained exactly why my posts aren't always shinning examples of the usage of the English language

>One thing I wish to comment on regarding your essay is this: My roommate, who is in his final year of a Philosophy major with an English minor, has often told me that parentheses are an unnecessary piece of punctuation in a properly written work. Instead, he suggests that commas should be used to separate a parenthtical clause from the rest of the sentence, and if this would result in a grammatically incorrect sentence, then the sentence should be re-written.

Well, after writing more papers than I can remember in High School and College, and using parenthesis on a regular basis, I have never heard this before. Not even from my more snooty English teachers.

Speed'thanks again'ball
