Sigh please dont laugh :) I was writing in another thread and wrote "forewards" and "backwards." My spell checker caught it. Is this improper english? It wanted to write either "fore wards" or "fore-wards." The same for backwards. Also, when I write a sentence that has a part of it that ends (in a set of parenthesis.) Is it proper to put the period "." inside of the last parenthesis, or should I put it outside? Also, if I were to ask a question in a parenthesis at the end of a setence (you see what I mean?) Would I put the question mark in the parenthesis? Or do I puncate the sentence according to the part of the sentence that is not in parenthesis? It's amazing I'm almost out of college, and do not know this!
