    I need help with my ,'s(where the hell do I put them?) and the witch's.(witch? wich? what?) Also when you write in () do you start with a capital and end with or dot?. How about the word after () do you start with a capital? :helpsmile:

    SG, when you're speaking about something that belongs to someone singular, (the possessive) you use an apostrophe before the "s". When you're speaking in the plural about something that belongs to a group of people you would use the apostrophe after the "s".

    When you use parentheses, you would use them to contain a separate statement within the statement you are making. You don't need a comma before you open your brackets or a capital letter for that matter (though it does help if try to keep the content of your brackets concise without meandering into extraneous punctuation).

    It's called a comma. Use it to indicate natural pauses in a sentence. Think of how you would speak to someone and how your voice automatically rests as each point is made.

    What the hell is up with the internet??

    People say addicting games - Its addictive you idiots&#33;&#33;&#33;
    You should have inserted a comma between "addictive" and "you". [/b][/quote]
    Not only that, but he/she (I don&#39;t know what gender is the cat) should have written "it&#39;s" or "it is" instead od "its".
