D#4 HW#2, Grammer

Ah everyones favorite. Well while visiting the Owl at Purdue i was easily able to spot my fault, Commas and Hyphens.

After reading through i did note some key sparks of knowledge i was unaware of such as in commas, "10. Use a comma to shift between the main discourse and a quotation," and that i never really known, or had to use a hyphen to continue a word on next line.

To conclude my revision, i am a little disappointed as it seemed i didn't revise much but in the past i know using commas and not using commas has been a biggie. As far as hyphens i now know the official grammar usage when i am handwriting a paper and run out of space so instead of just writing smaller and squeezing it in i now understand i can use a hyphen to breakup words in several ways such as "redecorat-ing."

Revised:

Cloning possibilities became a reality in February 1996 when Dolly the sheep was born from an adult somatic cell. This news headliner brought a wave of emotions and opinions on opposition for and against future cloning research. In addition, articles and protest surged in numbers. Currently today the number has significantly dropped, but still is a debatable topic.



...

My purpose is to inform and created a greater interest. Currently my position is half and half. Meaning I am for therapeutic cloning, but against destructive cloning. My audience of my final research project is the legislative branch that regulates medical practices and research. Sub audiences are those needing transplants, those chronically ill, and those who are tied in or related to any of the previous two.
