Snobs 8-15

So pretty much all I've learned in these chapters is to trust my instinct because no matter what I do, "two out of three language authorities" will tell me I'm wrong. Great. Thanks for the insight, June. 

I liked Chapter 13 because I love making up my own words. Especially when I'm writing poetry, I love making up a word to use as a title. It was nice to see that it's accepted to make up your own words but she really lost me when she started talking about the hyphens. If I make up my own word, I'm going to make up my own hyphen rules, too. 

"Oh yeah? Well...your mama dangles her participles!" (62). hahaha...

Chapter 15 was nice. I never know whether to put my punctuation inside of the quotes or not. Sometimes when I'm quoting something, it seems so weird to put the comma inside of the quotation marks, but I guess that's how you do it. And at least the rule for punctuation is easy and not a complicated drawn out process like hyphens.
