Isn't it "punctUation", Not? I think you have "punctation". I'm not sure what punctation is. I'm pronouncing it "punk-tation" in my head and thinking it is what a teenage kid does when he wants to defy his parents...
Sorry, I had to get in on it. I was scrutinizing it to come up with something!

As it seems Not canNOT spell or use punctation or space correctly....she is banned from all use of the siggy line until further notice....... ROFL (I wanted to admit that my eye was twitching when you had all those spaces at the end of your posts, and I was proud to read them anyway) Mea culpa. It's about US, N2F...LOL What a great sport you are...what you have gone through may not have been too fun...you remain completely fun yourself. LA

Add plurals to your list and I think you've got it. The rule is (like anyone REALLY needs to know this...) If there is a vowel then just add "s." If there is a consonant before the "y" then change the "y" for "ies." And I think it applies to made-up words too but I'll have to check my MLA Handbook. HTM

My H won't even let me read the stuff he writes. I was an English major in college and teach now. I just cannot let go of the habit.
You're a good sport. It's nice to have some fun here.
P.S. I use ellipsis incorrectly ALL the time...
