Education & Reference - 17 September 2006

Back in high school, I used to write a lot, and well about anything w/o trying hard. I have led to believe that writing is my passion, because I got good grades in all my writing activites back then. I even got lucky in winning some school essay contests. I just love it: love writing scripts for school plays, novel-like (love) stories, out from my imagination, simple poems, and essays (for my theme writing.) But now that I am in college, I hardly write when I am supposed to write a lot especially now that I have a Journalism course. Why can't I write anymore?


(What could have been wrong with me? Do I lack visualization? Did I lost my sooo wide imagination? Did I get lazy in starting to write?)Or was I simply just wrong to think about wrtitng as a talent, because I just had fun with it before--just a past time in the past?

When you are writing a paper in mla format, do you put a space between your centered title and the beginning of your essay (i mean actually hitting the space bar, not just the double spaced thing) or do you leave it?

Ok, I consider myself to be pretty well-versed in punctuation, but I've been seeing this weird thing all over the internet. It's like an Ellipsis, but with a bunch of commas. For example, "I asked him twice,,, I knew he could hear me!" At first, I thought that the person that used it was just stupid, but then I started seeing it all the time and by lots of different people, so I figured maybe I had missed something in English class. Is this some sort of "new punctuation," like those new words in the dictionary or are that many people retarded?
