Here are the guidelines:
"3. Michigan Residents and Absences From the State
You may be able to retain your eligibility for resident classification under the conditions listed below if you are domiciled in Michigan as defined by University Residency Classification Guidelines and leave the state for certain types of activities. However, if you have been absent from the state, you must file an Application for Resident Classification by the appropriate filing deadline to request resident classification and demonstrate your eligibility.
a. Absence for Active Duty Military Service (U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard, Officers in the Public Health Service), Non-Administrative Missionary Work, Peace Corps, AmeriCorps, or Similar Philanthropic Work
If you are domiciled in Michigan at the time of entry into active military duty, missionary work, Peace Corps, or similar service, you are presumed to retain your eligibility for resident classification as long as you are on continuous active duty or in continuous service and continuously claim Michigan as the state of legal residence for income tax purposes. If you are a dependent child of such an individual, you are presumed to be eligible for resident classification provided: (1) you are coming to the University of Michigan directly from high school or have been continuously enrolled in college since graduating from high school, and (2) you have not claimed residency for tuition purposes elsewhere."
Perhaps these veterans claimed another state as their state of legal residence for income tax purposes while they were in the military?
Rodeo Burger said...
Well, if you file in Florida, you're likely doing it for a couple reasons:
1. You live there
2. You don't want to pay city or state income tax (Michigan has it, Florida doesn't)You can't tell the IRS you reside in 1 state, thus qualifying yourself for in-state tuition in Florida, and then decide later that you'd rather get in-state tuition in Michigan.
PRStoetzer said...
No, but MSU's policy is more generous than Michigan's:
"A student, the spouse of a student, or the parent of a dependent student who, is a veteran of at least 12 consecutive months of active United States military service prior to honorable separation, or as a member of the Reserve or National Guard, was mobilized for at least 12 months of active military service, and who moves to Michigan with the intent to become a domiciliary of Michigan within 90 days following discharge or return to non-active duty, shall be classified as in-state. "
DWags said...
No, but they should. That's what I'd want if I was king of education in America. And they would also get lifelong jhealth care if they were ever in any active duty getting shot at.
That doesn't lesson the fact that the news is reporting uofm screwing veterans and you saying it's false and to lock the thread. It's not false. It's what they did and it's a news story.
y2kMgrad said...
Well, I didn't go to UM Dearborn so I have no idea how they run that campus. But obviously either an error was made by accident regarding his residency or perhaps he changed his residence to wherever he was based. But your initial post was flat out false.

That single cup of coffee that we wait in line at the drive through every morning on our way to work is becoming more expensive.
Tim Hortons coffee announced it's 4.5 % price hike on April 4th of this year with U.S prices already being raised by about 3 %. Unfortunately, Columbia has had the worst rains in decades which have created a huge problem with fungus that destroys the coffee plants. This issue is not only the contributing factor as growing economies like China and India who willingly spend the money on the caffein fix, has led to dwindling world coffee stockpiles.
Starbucks announced last month that it will sell packaged coffees for an average of 12 per cent more. The chain has also raised prices on some drinks in its coffee shops last year.
Obtaining that single cup of coffee outside the home or office is becoming more expensive and quite unpredictable with the world market as it is. It only makes economic sense to purchase your own Single Cup coffee brewer. There is a considerable difference in cost with no loss in quality and an increase in variety that caters to all especially those with a serious global conscious.
Brewing your own single cup coffee in the morning before you head out to work not only saves you the aggravation waiting in line at the drive through, which can be quite long if you didn't arrived at the right time when running a little late. Your choices are greater with home single cup brewing and without the higher cost, lost time in line ups at the drive through and the ability to explore other specialty blends from some of the top roasters and brand names in the world.

This is the third of four Fox Sports Ohio Rewinds. This one takes us back all the way to mid-August of last year. That's like 15/30ths of a year a go. I'm not sure whether they had color TV then, let alone HD, but hopefully Rupert Murdoch has taken care of that.
Here's the preview from FSO, edited for spoilers:
A [redacted] Reds [redacted] over San Diego at GABP[punctuation redacted] This game marked several Reds' season-[redacted]s: [redacted] runs in a game, [redacted]; most [redacted], [redacted]; and [redacted]. It was also the [redacted]of season, [redacted]. Jay Bruce collects [redacted], with a [redacted]. A few days later Jay is named the NL Player of the Week for the second time in 2011. Homer Bailey was [redacted].
Last season, I found an unending supply of tortured ways to say that Homer Bailey was pitching better than he seemed. But at least in this game he had run support and the confidence he usually musters against mediocre-to-bad teams.
Here's an excerpt from my totally incisive original preview for this game that I found on microfiche:
Homer Bailey. The Flange from La Grange. Lately, he seems to have reverted back to his habit of looking good against bad teams and struggling against the OK-to-good. Which might be another way of saying he's not pitching very well. But that's not entirely true. He had pretty good outings against both the Braves and Cardinals in July. Jay Bruce is probably not a very accurate point of comparison on the team as Homer has yet to have a "breakout" season. But both players were Top 10 prospects at the age of 20 or 21 and have struggled with evening out their production, partly as a function of, perhaps, difficulties handling the planning, patience and frequent adjustment required out of major league at-bats - on both sides of the ball.
Barely-retro lineup and useless pitcher stat lines after the junk.

Cargo volumes at Dubai World Central up sharply in Q1
Dubai, UAE – May 2 2012 – Cargo volumes at Dubai World Central (DWC) have surged 382 per cent in the first three months of 2012, according to the quarterly traffic report issued by Dubai Airports on Wednesday.
The airport, now only in its second full year of operation, recorded a 382.2 per cent increase in cargo volumes to 50,062 tonnes in the first quarter of the year, compared to 10,381 tonnes in the first three months of 2011.
Air traffic movements at the airport also increased sharply, rising 313.3 per cent to 3,513 movements in the first three months of 2012 compared to 850 in the previous comparable period.
The growth was driven by additional charter and scheduled services introduced over the past year as well as the securing of several large non-commercial contracts. In March Saudi Airlines Cargo became the latest major airline to begin a scheduled freight service to DWC with three weekly flights from Riyadh, the Saudi capital.
"Despite the fact that the global cargo industry remains under pressure, DWC continues to ramp up as new operations are introduced. Increasingly airlines are recognising that the airport, which is still in its infancy, has a unique value proposition with airlines able to take advantage of the its bonded link to the Jebel Ali port," said Paul Griffiths, CEO Dubai Airports. "Dubai Airports' total cargo volumes are expected to top 3 million tonnes by 2015 and an increasing portion of that growth is expected to spill over to DWC."
"In 2012 the economic picture has improved marginally from last year. World trade is gradually beginning to recover. While some major European economies have slipped into recession, US consumer confidence is on the upswing, China's economic expansion remains robust and both Thailand and Japan have started to rebuild from last year's natural disasters. This can only help augment volumes at Dubai's airports which benefit from a growing network and a geocentric location that allow them to tap into these global trade flows," said Griffiths.

The War Years (1911)
Augusta Arsenal proved itself invaluable to the country during the Spanish American conflict, manufacturing large quantities of cavalry equipment, seacoast targets, etc., as well as serving as a repair and supply point. In 1911 Col. J. Walker Benet took command. He was the son of the co-designer of the Benet-Mercer machine gun and father of poets, William Rose and Stephen Vincent Benet. During his command, the arsenal became a center for the repair of rifles and other small arms needed for World War I. Following the Armistice in 1918, only a skeleton force remained to serve field stations in the Fourth Corps Area. During this period, the Works Progress Administration (WPA) helped modernize the arsenal by paving roads and improving the buildings.
The Second World War greatly expanded military activities at the arsenal: 50 new buildings were constructed for maintenance and supply of ordnance material and fire control operations. Over a thousand people worked at the arsenal during World War II. In 1955 the decision was made to close the arsenal, and efforts began to obtain the property for the junior college. The
arsenal (with the exception of five acres kept for the U.S. Army Reserves) was
given to the Board of Education, and with little renovation, it became home to
the Junior College of Augusta in 1957. Augusta State University 2500 Walton Way Augusta, GA 30904 706-737-1444 Produced by the Office of Public Relations and Publications | ||||||||||||||||||

New Prenatal Test
Find a Conversation
Mon, 03-11-2013 - 7:35am |
The MaterniT-21 Plus test is the next scientific step to let couples rule out genetic problems, said Dr. Nancy Snyderman, chief medical editor for NBC News.
"Critics will say, hey look, this is a way to find out early and then abort because we want the perfect baby," she said.
But it gives couples like the Voslers more time to get ready if their child will have a genetic disorder by lining up specialists or talking to doctors before the birth, Snyderman said.
"In that regard, it allows people to really think, what's the realistic expectation of this pregnancy and what does my life look like with this new baby?" she said.
Sequenom, the test's maker, claims an accuracy rate of close to 99 percent. The test costs roughly the same as amniocentesis, about $2,000, and it may be covered by insurance.
Wow! I've never heard of this test before. Anyone planning to have this blood test done during early pregnancy? Has your doctor mentioned it to you?

Rogers highlights Pismo Beach pro volleyball event
- Category: Around the World of Volleyball
Todd Rogers fondly recalls playing in amateur tournaments at Pismo Beach and the people he met there as a teen.
That was well before the Santa Barbara native and Solvang resident went on to become a pro beach volleyball star and Olympic gold medalist.
Now 40 and still playing as a pro, Rogers has begun to accompany his kids on the drive north for their own matches, and he found that some things never change in the tight-knit Central Coast beach volleyball community.

Gorgeous ring!
By Helen
from Montreal, Quebec
I love this ring! My husband purchased this ring for me for our 15th wedding anniversary. The ammolite is gorgeous and has all the colors the top ammolite should have. I love that it is bezel set and that nothing can catch on to it. I can wear this ring with any outfit, with a dress or even with jeans. I would even recommend this ring as an engagement ring.
Love at First Sight
By Jane for Jewels
from montreal
This ring is gorgeous. I love the simple, uncluttered design and the bezel setting for the ammolite secures it so well and makes it so easy to wear anytime, anywhere. The colours are all there (red, blue, green,) and they are deep and rich giving the ring an almost magical feel to it.The diamonds are sparkly and highlight the ammolite. The only critique I have is that my certificate of authenticity was not filled out and I had to phone in for the information. I felt that on a purchase of this amount that the time and care should have been taken to fill out my certificate and not just throw in a blank one.

MF seeks water conservation grantMarch 19, 2013, 9:00 pm by Adam Troxtell A grant offered by the Lower Colorado River Authority (LCRA)could be used to fund water conservation efforts in Marble Falls. The City Council authorized the submission of an application by city officials to become involved with the LCRA's water conservation cost-share program, which is available to firm water customers. If approved, the program could provide up to $40,000 to extend the city's reuse of type 1effluent to irrigate public parks and recreation facilities. "[The LCRA] understands the value of reuse, City Manager Ralph Hendricks, who presented the grant program to Council in their meeting Tuesday night, said. "The LCRA contacted both me and the mayor to tell us we should apply for this grant. They want to help us by helping them by partially funding our reuse program. During the same Tuesday meeting, Council awarded a contract to SK Nelson Construction of Burnet to install the second phase of the type 1 effluent irrigation system, known as purple pipe, from Avenue J to South Main Street.

Awesome works. i like the mechanism of Constant-velocity joint
The first one wouldn't work because it is picking up two legs at a time. Which means it would just fall over. It would have to have at least six legs.
I assume it has the same number and configuration of legs on both sides… much like a spider.

Workers allege wage issues in Fire Island cleanup
Aerial photos of superstorm Sandy damage Fire Island Sandy photos Sandy's impact on Long IslandWeb links
Sandy coverage by townWorkers hired as part of a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers project to clean up post-Sandy storm debris on Fire Island say they are not being paid the wages they were promised when the job was advertised.
In a news conference outside the Central Islip offices of Coastal Environmental Group and DS3 Enterprises, Inc., the main subcontractors hired to complete the $10.1 million cleanup, leaders from Brentwood civic groups, Long Island Jobs With Justice, Make the Road New York and Assemb. Phil Ramos (D-Brentwood) decried what they called unfair wage practices.
"Right after Hurricane Sandy happened, we heard of cases of wage theft within hours," said Amy Richards from Make the Road New York. "Wage theft has been happening across Long Island, and we need to make sure that employers from other places aren't coming in to take advantage of our workers."

A spokesman for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers said the agency is looking into the alleged wage issues, but he would not elaborate.
Deborah Kirnon, director for St. Anne's Parish Outreach in Brentwood, said she was initially excited about the project's high pay for laborers, advertised as $18.02 per hour plus $3.71 per hour for health and welfare, and encouraged community members to apply.
But after a few weeks, Kirnon said, complaints started to pour in from workers designated as laborers who said they were being paid at a much lower wage than they had agreed to, and that checks from the subcontractors had bounced.
Last Wednesday, some workers walked off the job after receiving smaller-than-expected paychecks. "Workers were told they would be paid a certain amount and were actually paid a lesser amount and then refused to go back to work on Thursday," said Charlene Obernauer, executive director of Long Island Jobs With Justice.
Workers were informed Tuesday that the rate for laborers would be $12.64 plus $3.71 for health and welfare.
Reached at DS3's office, a representative from Coastal Environmental Group confirmed the pay rate but said he had not seen the advertised higher wage. He said he was unaware any checks had bounced.
DS3 Enterprises, hired as a subcontractor by California-based Environmental Chemical Corp., was the first company to win the bid for the cleanup for $8.8 million on Jan. 25. The Army Corps later withdrew the award because another bidder protested.

As Israel wages an intense daily debate about Iran and its nuclear program, a rift between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Israel's former intelligence chiefs has become public.

Cellphones were once simple tools for making calls on the go. But the phones have quickly become all-purpose devices, used to send email, read articles, find restaurants — and tell time.
And as more people carry that tool in their pocket or purse, fewer are relying on wristwatches to keep on schedule.
Monica Espitia is one of them. "Since I've had a cellphone, I pretty much stopped wearing watches," she says. "Until I went on vacation and I didn't know what time it was."

For weeks now, war has been simmering along the world's newest border between Sudan and South Sudan. Both countries blame the other as the aggressor in a conflict that includes disputes about contested territory and about access to oil reserves. Before an American sponsored peace agreement, what's now South Sudan fought a long war for independence that killed an estimated one and a half million people. Now less than a year after separation, the two states stand on the brink of full scale war.

Former President Jimmy Carter was no doubt minding his own business, which these days usually means being some place in the world doing good works, when his name came up in the 2012 presidential campaign, and not in a good way.
Talking to reporters Monday in New Hampshire, the unofficial GOP presidential nominee, Mitt Romney, uttered Carter's name in defending himself against Democratic attempts to raise doubts about whether Romney, like President Obama, would have ordered the raid that killed Osama bin Laden.

I've talked to you before about putting Nazi symbolism in your avatar/signature. That photograph is a shameful mark on the valor of the Marine Corps and its use in the field by American Marines is a discredit to our armed forces. I don't believe for one second that those Marines did not know what that symbol meant. To the extent they didn't, they are morons and they look no better for the act. The fact that you think the photograph is "cool" enough to include in your signature speaks volumes about your personality and your beliefs. I'm not even going to ask you to remove it. Leave it there as a mark so everybody knows who you really are. Last edited by Jarhead0331 : 10 FEB 2012 5:10pm |

ActionJackColonelPosts : 7920 Joined: 19 SEP 2005 Status : Offline | This is what happens from too much exposure. Marines ordered to review flag incident ... "I want to be clear that the Marine Corps unequivocally does not condone the use of any such symbols to represent our units or Marines," Amos said. Amos ordered that commanders investigate the prevalence of the use of SS and other unauthorized symbols within reconnaissance and sniper units. Sniper school curriculum will also be reviewed to ensure it contains prohibitions on the use of the SS symbol, he said. Marines from the 1st Reconnaissance Battalion who were pictured in the September 2010 photo told investigators they thought the double thunderbolt referred to "scout snipers," and was not a racist or anti-Semitic insignia. On Friday afternoon, two former Marines said it's unlikely the snipers didn't know the history behind the SS symbol. However, the logo was usurped long ago by the scout snipers and given a different connotation, they said. Their statements appear to be supported by several photos and comments posted by Marine groups on the social media website Facebook. "To say that they had no idea, that's a little uneducated," said Richard Gilbert, 27, a former scout sniper who served from 2003 to 2008 and is now the student veterans organization president at UC San Diego. "However, symbols mean different things to different people. When I look at it, I don't think of the German SS whatsoever. To us, it's a symbol that represents our way of life, our training, our job skills and what we are as a scout sniper community." Another former Marine, 34-year-old Nathaniel Donnelly, said scout snipers were using the SS symbol as far back as 1995. "Someone who makes it into the scout sniper platoon would know the military history," said Donnelly, now a veterans coordinator and MBA candidate at San Diego State. "That's just something we learn. They definitely weren't ignorant to it. They're not promoting the German SS. They made it as much their own as the Germans did in World War II." http://www.utsandiego.com/news/2012/feb/10/marines-ordered-review-flag-incident/ "Government is the great fiction through which everybody endeavors to live at the expense of everybody else."

SeytanCenturionPosts : 555 Joined: 23 JUL 2009 Location: US Status : Offline | Using the Runes only brings one thing to mind. To many people a painful memory. To me a very painful one. I am of Polish, German, Albianian and Turkish extraction. I have relatives in all of those countrys. In Poland during WW2 my Polish relatives were just about wiped out in the war. the use of the runes was in poor taste to say the least and had I been a member of this unit id have punched everyone of the people involved in the face until I felt my knuckles break. I expect more from the US military which I served and was honorably discharged from. Using those symbols or this picture here is also beyond poor taste and frankly if I was the mod id have banned you outright. |

UbercatCommanderPosts : 1185 Joined: 1 DEC 2008 Location: US, Near Allentown, PA Status : Offline | This kind of reminds me of a fellow on another forum I frequent who was trying to "salvage" the swastika. He wasn't a neo-Nazi, or any stripe of racist as far as I could tell. (Friends of mine know him in real life). But he felt it was time to clean the Nazi stigma from an ancient symbol that for the vast majority of its history had more positive meanings. Nobody really bought it, even though he was technically right, and he finally gave it up quietly. "I contend that we are both atheists. I just believe in one fewer god than you do.

No? I quite agree. The imagery serves to remind us to (at least try) not go down those roads again.

destraexGlobal ModeratorPosts : 6605 Joined: 8 MAY 2001 Location: AT, 3D Status : Offline | I used to fly simulators with a couple of Polish guys. Both too young to have seen ww2. They hated germans so much and could absolutely not play the german side at all or even come close to identifying most of them as "soldiers" in a war rather than murdering SOBs. I had trouble understanding actually, that they could be so unforgiving. It almost reminded me of discrimination that takes place just because somebody is a different colour or when you identify a whole race with the killer of a great grand father. What was crazy was one of these polish guys found out that his great grandfather was actually a german officer. His attitude changed a little but he was still mostly embarrassed for some time. They have recently made contact with me again to fly sims in COD. Our late night chats on the back porch may get a little interesting as I am curious as to how he has handled this evolution in his ancestry. I actually think its a great shame that Runes and anything else nordic were turned into political footballs. Most of it is tainted to some forever. Its like the ancient identity and history of everybody in northern europe was ripped from them by one 6yr period in history. I can understand on the other hand because we should never forget attrocities and keep reminding ourselves how they should never happen again. But there is also a time to forgive and forget as the christians say. You have to ask yourself why pink is no longer a girls colour and wemon swear, why the hammer and sickle is not banned and why turkish brutality is not acknowledged. In Australia I see the japanese rising sun flag or nippon red circle everywhere these days and wonder why they are not banned. By rights these symbols should offend me, they say to me Japanese Imperialism, I had relatives who fought the japanese and changi prison was a horrible place. I wonder when the slate will be wiped clean for northern european ancient culture. It will probably be many hundreds of years yet. I guess not even the egyptians have been forgiven for their part in the old testament yet and it has been thousands of years? It is not my fight however but it does present a conundrum to those who want to use basic shapes. A swastika yes. Runes I don't know if they should be banned. A lot of non-SS units had runes also, but the SS runes are fairly specific in that picture and that flag has them in the perfect likeness to the SS. The other question that springs to mind is how many SS front line units actually committed attrocities. Question: Are runes from non-SS units also banned? I know I will get labelled here an apologist, but really I am speaking completely impartially, the devils advocate. Perhaps this kind of thing is what keeps the world at each others throats.

Jarhead0331ColonelPosts : 8733 Joined: 24 MAY 2006 Location: 0, Texas Status : Offline | Nobody is suggesting that "runes should be banned." When you hyperbolize the argument you miss the point entirely. I'm only saying that the use of the symbol of the SS by US military forces in the field is in very poor taste, and is embarrassing. I'm sure there was no anti-semitic intent, but it is insensitive and in poor judgment. Equally poor judgment is when someone glorifies the image, or the use of the image, by posting it in their signature. This, to me, is the epitome of ignorance. |

destraexGlobal ModeratorPosts : 6605 Joined: 8 MAY 2001 Location: AT, 3D Status : Offline | I certainly agree with that Jarhead. The swastika and the SS runes are the two to stay away from. The totenkopf deaths head badge another, although so many units in history have sported that badge or very similar before the rise of Hitler and after (including I think the US) that it would be almost unfair to judge it unless it was the very specific totenkopf badge. Though 0kult13 is probably just trying to be controversial and anti-establishment as you imply. He wanted a rise and got one. Freedom of Speech and thought they say. Rather society at this time still has limits and rules but they are very quickly being eroded. The military is often the last bastion of sanity with regard to these rules. The boundaries lasting much longer than they do in civil life. Last edited by destraex : 13 FEB 2012 7:16pm |

If you are referring to something else be specific. As a aside what was done to people of other faiths in the name of Islam at the time was no different then the crusaders putting Greek orthodox or any other faith then Christans to the sword. In fact it is well documented that the Turks treated the enthic minoritys under thier rule better then thier Christian counterparts. Some reading is in order on your part I suspect. |

FarAway SoonerCommanderPosts : 1008 Joined: 23 OCT 2005 Status : Offline | Symbols get used by different groups. When a particular group uses a symbol, and you achieve a critical mass that combines the notoriety of the group and the prominence of that symbol, it's safe to say that the group has actually hijacked the symbol. That's a shame, for the symbol and for all the other groups who have used it legitimately in the past. But it's really dumb to ignore that history. It's even morally negligent to ignore learning that history. It's up to each of us as people to figure out what symbols we use and what they imply. We can be contrarian, and attention-seeking, and insist that we're using a symbol because of it's 16th-century affiliation with some ancient Mesoamerican group, but that doesn't mean we aren't using a tainted symbol. And when we use a tainted symbol, we aren't just promoting the symbol. We're promoting the taint, too. |

The Great Semi-Colon Debate
53 comments:
I used to just love that semi-colon; I thought it was classy. I've had more than one person tell me just to use a comma. Alas, it has disappeared from all my writing, but I may resurrect it now and then for fun.
I found this article I thought you all could have fun with while exploring this topic. Note the comment in this article about a certain serial killer. Sounds like Kill Zone kind of stuff.
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/02/18/nyregion/18semicolon.htmlToday semi-colons, tomorrow the dash.
I know grammar is important, but I wonder how many strict grammarians write enthralling fiction? I'm sure most authors know more about the rules of grammar than I do, but I never have discussions with the general public or other authors on semi-colons or dashes. I suspect editors have these sorts of discussions regularly. If I had depended on my mastery of punctuation to sell my manuscripts to editors, I'd still be unpublished. Thank God it's the stories they buy. Some authors have little need for editors, but I am not one of them.Semicolons should almost never be used in fiction. But I can't condone a blanket condemnation of semicolons or any other of the writer's tools. Some people use semicolons in their speech. In the dialogue or internal monologue of such characters, semicolons can be used to good effect if handled deftly.
ReplyDeleteOh Jim, Jim, Jim. I'm heaving big sighs here. I usually bow to my writing superiors, but in this post, I have to stand straight. :)
Of course a period at the end of a sentence is wonderful. It's that strong, assertive mark that says, "I wrote what I meant, and I mean it."
But a semi-colon (correctly used, of course) can be compared to flooring. Yes, that stuff we all walk on. Noah Lukeman in A DASH OF STYLE uses this comparison. Gray cement floors are as functional as you can get. But when we want elegance and style, something that elevates our senses to the luxurious, we go for something else: marble, polished hardwood, plush carpet, or even some color added to the cement. Semi-colons are one tool in the writer's toolbox, and personally, I need all the tools I can get. As Lukeman says, "Business memos do not need semi-colons; creative writers do."
Fun post!- kathy d.October 31, 2010 at 12:50 PM
with a lot of the general public declaring, 'i seen' or 'him and me're goin' to the mall'....i'm not sure you'll get a lot of fan mail in regards to your grammar.
ReplyDelete Laura, far be it from me to interrupt a love affair!
Rebbie, I can see your point (and Lukeman's). But I guess I just don't see any elegance in the semi. I seek emotion in fiction, not calling out to the reader about stylishness, which the semi does when I see it.
But then again, I've never been accused of elegance, except when I was shooting fifteen foot jumpers in high school.
I'm glad to hear the discussion.Just before I submitted my manuscript to agents, I had it reviewed by a pair of well known mystery writers who are sisters. They told me that I overused em dashes. I was the Queen of Dashes. I did a global search and replace and reduced them by about 75%. My manuscript was much better for it.
ReplyDeleteI wholeheartedly agree. Colon, too, and parenthesis, brackets, any of that stuff. Em dashes are okay, but I agree with above -- use sparingly or you dilute their "boldness."
A few comma slices are okay, but don't overdo it. Stick to the period in most cases, for fiction.
As to what does not belong in fiction, I'll add 'and' before 'then' as a rule. When it feels right, fine, however, not necessary. 'Then' is perfectly legal grammar in the role of conjunction when done correctly. The term is "enumerative adverbial conjunct." To the sticklers I say, stick that in your pipe and smoke it.Sorry, I realize I'm not a high-powered writer or anything, but I do like semi-colons (though not in dialogue) and em dashes, and you'll get them away from me when you pry them from my cold, dead word processor ... (oh, yes. ellipses, too.)
I would like to pass along a couple of expositions on the subject:
From my tweep Tony Noland:
Ode to the Semicolon
My own foray into the subject:
Attack of the Semicolons- AnonymousNovember 2, 2010 at 1:59 PM
Someone tell Scott Lynch? He uses them so much for a while I thought he'd broken his comma key.
ReplyDelete - AnonymousNovember 7, 2010 at 1:17 PM
Heh. Before I read "Eats, Shoots, and Leaves," I never used semi-colons because I didn't know how, even though betas accused me of run-on sentences a lot.
I tend to write in first person or very close third, and I have a couple characters who think and speak in sentences appropriate for semi-colons. I do try to use them only when necessary.
Em-dashes though--I admit it. I'm an addict.

Pants fit perfect and very comfortable fabric
Like the no pleats as it gives a straight leg effect. The color could be darker but still like.

grest pair of slacks
Only problem is getting these slacks in a truly black.shade. apparently the silk makes it impossible to get closer than dark charcoal when listed as black

Since I started using TB clothes never looked back. The quality is superb and , although a bit more expensive than other competitor's products, it is worth it.

Excellent and Comfortable
As with all Tommy Bahama products, these pants were perfect! They are extremely comfortable and they move perfectly when you move. I cannot stress enough to anyone thinking about getting them - GET THEM! Well worth the money!

Great for most occasions.
This item runs true to size--perfect with flops or dress shoes. This is my third pair of these pants and I'm sure I'll be adding more to my closet real soon!

Comfortable slacks that drape well and give an air of refinement with out being stuffy
These slacks were the perfect choice for me, casual yet refined. Perfect with a shirt tucked in or out. Love the secured waistband with one tab and two button closure. The black color that I ordered turned out to be a muted black not a stark black which would lessen the casual yet refined appearance. I will most likely add other colors to my wardrobe.

Excellent quality, good fit
This is my second pair, they are very easy to wear in our southwest Florida climate.
