Punctuation and Capitalization

In American English, commas and periods typically go inside quotation marks. Question marks and exclamation points go inside if they are part of the quoted material and outside if they are not. However, in British English, the punctuation goes outside the quotation marks unless it is part of the quoted material.

Three periods in punctuation, also known as an ellipsis, indicates the omission of words in a text or a pause in speech. It is often used to create suspense, show a trailing off of thought, or represent a portion of text that has been removed.

If you are showing possession, then you use an apostrophe and an s at the end of the name...unless the name ends with an s. In that case, you only add the apostrophe.

example: Tom's brother is James. James' brother is Tom.

It is capitalized if it directly precedes the name of the executive director in question.

In ordinary writing, "city" would be lowercased. However, in legalese, "city" in reference to a municipality may be considered an official, defined term, which would require a capital C.

Generally the only punctuation marks used in a bullet point are the comma, semi-colon, ellipsis, em-dash, and hyphen. Punctuation which would generally end a sentence like the question mark, exclamation mark, and period are not used. Math symbols and symbols for currency or units of measure may be used.

Not unless a proper noun follows the semi-colon.

The parts before and after the semi-colon are part of the same sentence. You do not capitalize in the middle of a sentence unless it is a proper noun.

Both words should be capitalized as it is a proper Noun-clause- as would be Statue of Liberty. Hope ( one-time owner-jeweler) modifies Diamond. by the way there was a burlesque actress called Hope Diamond, so-called from her Cleavage ( as has the precious stone) When I was a kid I knew about Cleavage in rocks before learning the dirty term- I can recall telling Dad- different rocks have different levels of cleavage- he responded -(don"t use that word around Mother!) So it goes. Anoth lovely Blue Diamond ( all things the same- the most valuable) is the Star of Italy which is a ten carat Blue Teardrop. It is believed to be in the possesion of a famous movie star.
