Liz: Good for you. Content really is the most important thing, isn't it? However, I have been unfortunate enough in my career to have worked for no less than four Harvard graduates (English majors), and one Rhodes Scholar. These attorneys were sticklers on punctuation! They taught me well, even though I was contemplating homicide a good deal of the time. As I understand it, Lillian, the punctuation goes outside the parentheses, just as the punctuation goes inside quotes, i.e., "He is a jerk," or "I've attached his mustache hereto as Exhibit 'A'." Does this add to your confusion? It does to mine; in fact, I don't even want to THINK about it!! LOL Love, Kathy

I guess I am one of those teachers who is more concerned with content than
with punctuation. And I alway critized those folks. There are some
punctuation areas that are really hard to figure.
