Apostrophe

• For plural possessive nouns ending in s, add an apostrophe: the students鈥� grades, states鈥� rights.
• For singular common possessive nouns ending in s, add 鈥檚: the hostess鈥檚 invitation, the witness鈥檚 answer.
• For singular proper names ending in s, use only an apostrophe: 黑料专区鈥� mission.聽HOWEVER, the possessive of the abbreviation聽黑料专区听颈蝉听鈥檚听(颈.别.,听颁颁厂鈥檚) as the S refers to the first letter of聽厂迟耻诲颈别蝉听and not the last.
• For plurals of a single letter, add 鈥檚:聽She received all A鈥檚 this semester.
• Do not use 鈥檚 for plurals of numbers or multiple letter combinations: the聽1960s, OEMs.

Colon

• Capitalize the first word after a colon only if it is a proper noun or the start of a complete sentence:聽She promised this: The team will go to nationals this year.
• A colon may be used before a list of items without capitalization:聽There were three issues with the project:聽expense, time and feasibility.

Comma

• Use commas to set off a person鈥檚 hometown and age:聽Jane Smith, 22, graduated yesterday.
• Place commas on either side of non-essential statements within sentences:聽John, who loves cars,聽went to the auto show.

Hyphen

• Use a hyphen for compound adjectives before the noun:聽well-known student, full-time job, 20-year sentence.
• Do not use a hyphen when the compound modifier occurs after the verb:聽The student was well known.聽Her job became full time. He was sentenced to 20 years.
• Do not use a hyphen with adverbial modifiers:聽BBDO is a wholly owned subsidiary of Omnicom.
• Do not use a hyphen when describing U.S. ethnic groups:聽African American, Italian American, etc.

Parentheses

• The temptation to use parentheses is a clue that a sentence is becoming contorted. Try to rewrite the sentence, putting the incidental information between commas or dashes, or in a separate sentence. If you must use parentheses, follow these punctuation guidelines:

Place a period outside a closing parenthesis if the material inside is not a sentence聽(such as this fragment).

If the material is an independent, complete sentence, place the period inside the parentheses.

Period

• Use a single space after the period at the end of a sentence.
• Do not put a space between initials:聽C.S. Lewis; J.K. Rowling.
• If a URL falls at the end of sentence, you should use a period.

Quotation Marks

• Periods and commas always go within quotation marks.
• Dashes, semicolons, question marks and exclamation points go within the quotation marks when they apply聽to the quoted material. They go outside when they apply to the whole sentence.
• Use single marks for quotes within quotes:聽Smith said, 鈥淪he told me, 鈥業 wish I had been accepted to 黑料专区.鈥欌��

Semicolon

• Use to separate independent, but related, clauses. Each clause should be able to stand on its own as a sentence:聽Rowena Reed Kostellow was a renowned educator and helped define the discipline of industrial design; her book is required reading for incoming students.
• If a list of items is long and complex, or within clauses with intermediary punctuation, semicolons may be used in place of commas for the sake of clarity.

  operas and feature-length films:聽Journal of Consumer Culture, BrandChannel.com, Manet鈥檚 Olympia.
