What's the difference between "typing" and "actually typing"?

The second phrase consists of two words, as opposed to one. Even a demented cuttlefish would know that.  ..0

Happy Birthday, Roger. I'm going to give you a full stop outside of brackets as a special treat, (just here to the right).


Surely you mean: 'just there on the right'?

No! I mean 'just there on the right'? - I am not saying these words, I am quoting written words. And if I want to use quotes, I WILL!

Yeah - women get like that. A little therapeutic housework usually helps cool 'em down.

Maybe Tarquin can adjudicate on the inverted-commas business.

Please put this down on record - housework, therapeutic or otherwise, does NOT come within my remit.

AND

Tarquin is incapable of adjudicating anything!

That's not to say I don't do my bit, Mince! Stop trying to cause trouble.

I help by pointing out bits that are dusty and may have been missed, for example.

In my house, the dusty bits are there for artistic effect!

Double inverted commas for quotes, single inverted commas for quotes within quotes.

Vulture wrong. Peepsie right.


Peepsie wrong about earlier comma. Vulture wrong to correct Peepsie's bracketed remark. Mince wrong to gloat.





Like I actually care, actually.
