Brackets Parentheses and Quotation Marks

I think you mean ellipsis, which denotes a pause in speech. It is written as 3 full stop marks.

Example:

"Well...I guess that would be okay"

No, it is not necessary to put brackets around full stops in a transcript. Brackets are typically used for citing additional information or clarifications within a text, but full stops are generally left as they are.

Interjections are normally used to show some measure of emotional intensity, so the exclamation mark would usually follow.

Francises

Francis's would be if they own something e.g. The Francis's TV

In English language writing, there should be only one space before all punctuation marks, including periods, commas, semicolons, and question marks. This standard practice helps improve readability and typographic appearance in written text.

A bibliography reference typically ends with a period.

Yes, I use quotation marks to define a dictionary. Also quotation marks used in the following cases. For direct quotations – this refers to using a statement by somebody else word for word. Direct quotations are used in writing literary analysis for a particular analysis of a part, and dissertations for actual quotes from a source or authority, but these marks are for short quotes only. Any quote beyond 25 words must be set of with another inch of margin – these are referred to as block quotes. Quotation marks are also used in citing aliases (Greg “The Shark” Norman), inch measurements (5’2” is 5 feet and 2 inches), translations (sayonara “goodbye”), sneer quotes (your “best friend” is right behind your back), and quoting a noun (“Mississippi” has four S’s and two P’s).

no not nesersarily but you would call it an editing mark

Quotation marks typically go before or after commas, depending on whether the comma is part of the quoted material. If the comma is part of the quoted material, it goes inside the quotation marks. If the comma is not part of the quoted material, it goes outside the quotation marks.

Ethnocentrism is the conscious or unconscious belief that one's own culture is the one that matters most. For example, many children's dolls are fair skinned, because manufacturers often fail to consider diversity.

Ethnocentrism is the tendency to judge other cultures by the standards of one's own culture.

Examples:

A Westerner thinking that using chopsticks at every meal to eat is strange, silly, or a "stupid" way to eat

An American making jokes about the Korean practice of eating dogs.

Yes, it is possible.

EX:

1: Angel does not like going to the vet; getting her into the car is hard enough.

But unless the sentence is in a form similar to the sentence above, I wouldn't recommend using a semi colon before the word, 'getting.'

I hope this helped!

Commas are different from periods. Period (.) i

ng that right after the comma, word/s will follow.

In American English, periods and commas are typically placed inside final quotation marks, while colons and semicolons are placed outside.

Yes it's possible it depends on the context of the sentence.

In British English, speech marks generally go before the question mark. In American English, the placement can vary depending on whether the question mark is part of the quoted material. It's best to follow the style guide or preference of the publication you are writing for.

Both - A full-stop indicates the end of the current sentence or phrase, and lets the reader know a new sentence or phrase is about to start.

A period (.) is typically used at the end of a hypothesis to denote the end of the sentence.

NO. You do not need to use quotation marks around sounds. Quotation marks are only used to show something someone said.

However, most poets do use italics to show sounds or when people talk.

And yes, those words are onomatopoeia, though splash is somewhat in between as it could also be a noun or verb.

Use "To say the least," to express understatement or to indicate that there is much more to the story or situation than what has been said. Example: "His performance was, to say the least, disappointing."

The best way to integrate quotes into your writing is to integrate them so that sentences flow logically, without disrupting the overall flow of your own writing. When omitting words from a quote, use an ellipsis to indicate the missing words, but be careful not to distort the original meaning of the quote.

Before we had italics, it had to be quotation marks, but now, I think italics is sufficient, particularly if you are referring to it as a source. Maybe different rules for published treatises.

It is called an interrobang. It is used to denote a sentence that is both an exclamation and a question.

Well, I'd use a semicolon, and comma; myself. The end sentence being, "Which impact was harder; the first, or the second?"

Alternatively, you could divide the phrase in to two separate sentences. The resulting sentences being, "Which impact was harder? The first, or the second?"
