    I love this! Typographic and grammatical errors haunt my nightmares.

    Brilliant! I have to share with my fellow grammar sticklers.

    I am sharing this with my whole posse of liberal arts buddies. It's perfect timing.
    We had a wine-infused dinner last night, and talked about how we feel like total frauds sending texts and breezy emails when WE KNOW BETTER.
    Seriously good post.

    itt: grammar nazis unite… losers. correct punctuation my ass… since when is a name a complete sentence?

    In response to WonderSpot:
    Actually, a name can be a complete sentence. It could be the answer to a question or simply and exclamation.
    Do your research next time.

  • Anon

    An exclamation wouldn’t end it a period. It would end in an exclamation point. Answering the question with “Edward.” would not be a complete sentence. In common use of English, this has become acceptable, but to be correct, you should really write “Edward is my brother.” If you are asked “Who is your brother?” etc.

    In response to Steph:
    If the question is “What is your name?” Then the answer would in fact be, “Edward.”
    In which case, a name would, in fact, be a full sentence.

  • Arianne

    Sorry, I meant for my last comment to say in response to Anon.

  • Tirana

    does the fact that “Edward.” comprises a sentence make punctuation less correct?

  • chud

    Thus, as there was no question (although graffiti could be said to be a “statement”), the simple name “Edward” should _not_ have a period.

  • Matt

    “Edward” should have a period following it. The “I is” at the beginning of the sentence is implied.
