I should probably read the copy we already own soon. I think it's because the last book I looked up on Amazon was the <a>Pi: Screenplay and Guerilla Diaries</a> by Darren Aronofsky.

Thanks though. The advertisement is an experiment at this point. I kind of like it as just a changing bit of graphic, and if I get a few pennies from it down the road, tha's coo'.

Underlined if it is the whole album, book, or movie. Now I see italicized things and bolded things. I've decided to bold things, but looking at this particular post, maybe it should be italicized. <strong>CANDACE!!!! I NEED YOU RIGHT NOW!!!</strong> Do you think she'll come? I think Candace has magic powers like that. Like in <em>Bewitched</em>, where they just had to shout out Esmerelda's name in order for her to show up.

However, at 5:40pm today when you were channeling me, I was packing the trunk of the car for a 5 hour car trip. Home now, checking in and here's the scoop on underlining, etc First of all, think like this: short or incomplete=quotation marks long or complete=underlining And as those two conventions of punctuation derive from handwriting or typewriting, italics and bold were not is use in conjunction with underlining and quotation marks. You see, it's difficult to handwrite in bold or italics and no typewriter provided this application. In modern day with the use of the keyboard, italics is generally substituted for underlining. Bold is some other animal altogether and not a part of this conversation. Sorry for the lateness of this reply. Maybe the information will serve you in the future.

I was trying to find exceptions to the rules, since I assume a poem would be in quotes where a book of poems would be underlined or italicized. But then I thought about an epic poem, a possible exception to the rule given its length. Aw, hells-to-the-no.

You found the loophole, but yes, epic poems are underlined or italicized. Many times epic poems have chapters and those are in quotation marks. Capitalization and punctuation as well as spelling and pronunciation are conventions which means they are agreed-upon standardizations, not right or wrong, only agreed upon. Remember the harbor or harbour debate? That's an example of different conventions for different countries. There are 1000's of examples of spelling differences of the same word, country to country. Even within the US, region to region, there are a few examples of differences in conventions. George Bernard Shaw said of Americans and the English: Two peoples separated by a common language.
