Should the word gospel be capitalized?

Interesting question... Wiktionary lists "gospel" as the main spelling, and "Gospel" as alternative spelling.

The general rule is that an noun should be capitalized if it is a proper name; this is a bit doubtful. Are there four gospels, or four versions of the same "gospel", "gospel" meaning something like "message" in this case? In the latter case, "gospel" would be a unique item, and should be treated like a proper name.

Another general rule is that certain items are capitalized if they are considered sacred, so that may be the reason why "Gospel" is capitalized by some.

Do you put a comma after including?

You mean in a phrase like this?

He's always been late for everything, including his own wedding.

No. In this and similar constructions, you would put one before it. You would never put one after.

The only time you would have one after it is if it were followed by a phrase that requires commas around it, like this:

Remember to bring everything we need for the barbecue, including, of course, the meat.

Here the phrase "of course" requires the commas. It just happens to follow "including," but "including" is not the reason for the comma.

Jacksons Actions would the apostrophe be after the s or before the s of Jacksons?

The answer is no. Planes have technology that depressurizes the cabin. If a person was to travel 1000 mph outside, they wouldn't be able to breathe due to the suction (vacuum) created by the motion. The lack of air would cause asphyxiation. This means they would suffocate to death.

How should an American act in France?

Sensibly. Above all, TRY TO SPEAK FRENCH. When I ran a B&B Inn in France, I always told people that if the French are rude to you, it serves you right. Imagine someone going into a shop in New York and shouting at the assistants in French! Could they expect politeness? French people like foreigners to try to speak French. After all, it's our country, they say, so speak our language. IF you make the effort, and get into difficulties, they'll help. The French can be the most helpful people in the world. People in our area of Normandy would turn up with lost Americans they had convoyed to us for miles, just because the tourists tried to speak French and ask the way, but had trouble understanding the answer.
