48286, Oh, so you're just terrible with grammar...
Posted by Brew, Tue Aug-10-10 11:31 AM
usually when someone is quoting someone else, they actually use quotation marks (" followed by ") to mark the beginning and end of the quote, then say something to the effect of "- from an mlb blog", which you did at the end, sure. But it was hard to discern what, if anything, was your original text, and what was quoted from said blog, because the original blog itself had quotations and was disorganized.

Another way to differentiate between your original text and the quoted text, which is popular on this site, is to put ">" at the beginning of each line of the quote, therefore separating the two so the reader will know exactly which is your text and which is the quoted text.

Next time, try being a little more grammatically correct, that way confusion will not ensue.

Either way, you didn't really respond to anything.
