Grammatical tweaks #10

Closed machawk1 closed 7 years ago

machawk1 commented 7 years ago

I have not encountered a sentence starting with I.e. or E.g. and am used to each term being using in parenthesis or following an em-dash within a sentence (akin to @dcwalk). I had not realized when I suggested the PR that each was its own sentence. I am open to either style so long as it's consistent. The primary point of the PR was to fix the missing paren.

Encountered my first capitalized "E.g." in academic writing in a re-reading of Marshall and Shipman's, "An Argument for Archiving Facebook as a Heterogeneous Personal Store" from JCDL 2014 (§3.2) and was reminded of this PR/thread.

shall we also debate "grammatic" vs "grammatical" ? ;)

machawk1 commented 7 years ago

@ebarry I think that is unnecessary. I have never seen the former used. ;)

Aside from providing an example of a sentence beginning with "E.g.," that paper provides some useful content and I'm really glad you mentioned it. I wasn't aware of it before.
