PARENTHESE Parentheses and dashes serve many of the same functions, but they differ in one significant respect: parentheses can set off only nonessential elements, where as dashes can set off essential and nonessential elements. Remember: In setting off elements, dashes emphasize; parentheses de-emphasize. Example: n three of our factories (Atlántico, Bolívar, Magdalena) sales have gone up. Sales have gone down in our Cali (Valle) office.	Parenthese can be used with: * Reference:(see pages 93 to 102) * Dates: (1716) * Enumerated items within a sentence: Lee’ s experience (1) the number of years she worked for your company, (2) a description of her duties, and (39 the number of promotions she received.
Note: Letters are used to enumerate items within a sentence when the sentence itself is part of a numbered sequence. Example: 3. Please include these items on your expense account (a) the cost of your hotel room; (b) the cost of meals, including tips; and (c) the amount you spent on transportation	Note: If the item in parentheses is to be incorporated at the end of a sentence, place the punctuation needed to end the sentence outside the closing parentheses. Example: Please hand in your typing work by Monday (August 10). How can I reach John Blacksmith (he teaches at the Colombo)? *Do not use a period before the closing parenthesis except with an abbreviation. Our office is open late on Thursdays (until 9 p.m.)

The word quay is pronounced exactly the same as key	* Underscore titles of books, pamphlets, long poems, magazines, newspapers and foreign words.

THE ASTERISK. The asterisk may be used to refer the reader to a footnote placed at the bottom of a page or table. Example: Mr. Sheldon sent Mr. Page a copy of his latest novel* with a note.	Asterisks are used to replace words that are considered unprintable. Example: Mary was so furious that she called Gregg a ****. Rage of Angel
THE APOSTROPHE. The apostrophe is used: As a single quotation mark: for example;“ Don’ t you remember when he said ‘ I will not go.’ yesterday?” To indicate the omission of figures in dates. for example; The class of ’ 97 The winter of ’ 87	As a symbol for feet. for exapmle; A room 15 x 30’ To form contractions.for example; don’ t couldn’ t shouldn’ To form plurals of figures, letters, etc. for example; three A’ s dot your i’ s in the 1920’ s To form possessives. foer example; Faulkner’ s novels the patient’ s medicine Charles’ car
LLIPSIS MARKS. Ellipsis marks (three spaced periods, with one typewriter space before and after each period) are often used, especially in advertising, to display individual items or to connect a series of loosely related phrases. Example: Sandals Resorts - All-Inclusive Luxury in the Caribbean - ON SALE Are you lacking a little "R&R" ... Romance & Relaxation? Do you crave a little white sand under your toes ... floating on turquoise water with a cool drink in your hand ... pampering without a worry? Check out these specials at Sandals Resorts ... the ultimate Ultra All-Inclusive Caribbean romantic resorts for couples only ... Loveis all you need at Sandals. Better hurry ... limited time offer!

The three spaced period create an effect of uncertainty or abrupt suspension of thought. Example: I bought you a . . . You should have told him . . .
QUOTATION MARKS. Quotation marks have three main functions: to indicate the use of someone else’s exact words: Example “ If you want to lose weight, don’ t eat sweets,” said Gloria. To set off words and phrases for special emphasis. Example: The carton was marked “ Fragile.” She received a message signed “ A Friend.”	To display titles of literary and artistic works. Example: *The title of my report is “ How to Improve your Vocabulary. ” Note: In English, periods and commas always go inside the closing quotation mark. .
THE DIAGONAL. The diagonal occurs (without space before or after) in certain abbreviations and expressions of time.	Example: m/h = kilometers per hour c/o = care of C/gena. B/quilla
