Punctuation and Capitalization

The phrase "Martin Luther King Day" is correctly capitalized. Martin Luther King is a name so is automatically capitalized. Since it is a specific day, a holiday to be exact, day is also capitalized.

No it doesn't need to be capitalized.

When you are denoting ownership, as in "The doctor's thermometer was in his pocket," you use an apostrophe. The apostrophe would come after 'doctors' if you were referring to more than one doctor in denoting ownership, for example, "The doctors' patients were getting impatient."

i dont use a dash mark at all is how
but you can

just lay it out there horizontally by hitting the key to the right of the zero preferably in lower case shift position rather than caps
but it works in caps too
tho a bit differently


& there is also a vertical dash mark if you prefer
as well as diagonal ones leaning both ways
tho these arent necessarily called dash marks
so if you really wanted to use one you should probably use a horizontal one
at least at first & til you got the hang of it


but in fact i myself dont voluntarily use any marks nor spots of any kind
except of course for the dots that come with my eyes
which i cant help


but in a nutshell
it is all optional

To be or not to be is the eternal question. There should be no punctuation after the phrase used as a noun.

it wouldn't have one unless it had an s, like Ronald's.

Bible verses have a colon [:] following the chapter with no space before the verse: John 3:16. There are commas and a space between separate verses: John 3:16, 19. A hyphen with no space is used for a set of verses: John 3:16-17.

The name of the punctuation mark with a dot directly above a comma is called a "semicolon."

There were gymnasts waaaay back in greece. There was no "first" gymnast. A guy would jump over a horse (a REAL horse!), and then someone else would say, I could do that better! And so the sport began. For a long time, no girls did gymnastics. The guys used to do it naked way back when...

Each item should only be capitalized if they are proper nouns, titles etc. If it wouldn't normally have a capital letter then don't capitalize it in a list.

Many vehicles have a 'child safety lock' in the back seat that prevents young children from opening the doors. Check your owner's manual. Some have a physical latch to turn to disengage. Others have a menu setting in the electronics that can be programmed.

If they open from outside and not inside the child locks are probably on. open the door and look around the lock .

so far as I am aware, a simple word is the word in it's basic form. or the root word.

for example "lock" is a basic word.

The complex word is the root word with either another stand alone word or with the attachment of a prefix or suffix.

For example lock + able = lockable

or un + lock = unlock

Hope this helps

Complex and simple words is about word choice. Choosing more descriptive words would be using complex words. Using more complex words is cornerstone to having a sophisticated vocabulary. Complex words should be used and taught beginning with preschoolers.

examples:

use = usage

stinky= raunchy

good=fantastic

walk=sauntered, lumber, meander, wander

Not at all, because you don't put Xenon BULBS in your car. (The cheap little "Xenon-like" bulbs that are direct replacements for your headlight bulbs should not be purchased because they cut down the amount of light you get--it's just a coating on a regular bulb, and all a coating can do is take away light, never add it) You put a Xenon SYSTEM in your car, and the most inexpensive systems are around $900.
