Good grammar Posted June 5, 2004 at 12:00 am

Wikipedia resolved my confusion regarding the correct usage of the em dash and the ellipsis (including HTML entities!).

Mom also showed me a good book by Patricia T. O’Conner entitled Woe Is I. It’s a thorough grammar handbook covering everything from word usage (oral vs. verbal) to punctuation (what to include inside quotation marks). I was interested because I’ve started preparing my database for the move to XHTML and TextWiki and this will be a good opportunity to fix problems.
