I'm wondering, what are all the possible punctuation marks that I can use (according to formal rules) in the following sentence? For example, in formal writing can I use... a colon, semi-colon, dash-, or a double-dash--?

I don't mean to be nasty but what the bloody hell is going on? Even a two year old could spell better than some of these people. It seems like some of them are usuing a special language that looks simillar to text speak but got mixed up with complete and utter laziness.
I can totally understand using text speak if you're writing a text because you expect the person on the other end to know what you're gibbering about, but to use it on a site like this where you have the room to write things out properly - and you don't have to pay for it - is just pure laziness.
God, in his infinite wisdom, gave us all brains for a reason so start usuing them people! Write your question then use the damn spell checker.
Now I'm going to have people going over this with a fine toothed comb to pick out all my mistakes, eh? Well at least I made an effort. And to think I wasted 5 points on this.

I have two sons that are going into the 10th & 7th grade. I'm a single mother and over the next 2yrs, (starting in March 08) I'm going to be doing A LOT of traveling for my job and I don't really have a choice. My boys have chosen that they want to go to a boarding school and with funds left from their father, we would be able to pay for it. I'm not looking for anything military, socialization, religious or behavioral improvement school, just an ordinary leveled school for my boys. It doesn't matter where in the continental US because we are willing to move near the school so they can come home when I am home.
I was wondering if anyone had advice about one/suggestions? Maybe attended one? Or would be willing to help me look through this list I found online. I have to make decisions/deposits in Sept to get them in by Jan which doesn't give me a lot of time.
I can post the website and a little info about what I'm looking for if you e-mail me or ask on here. Thanks very much

My child was in Headstart (3yrsold) and he stayed from 8-2pm. They had a family setting for dinner, provided breakfast,lunch and snack. Lots of parent interaction activities. Recess the works. Today I go to enroll in pre-k and they were actually pretty rude and I found they only stay 3 hours and no breakfast for the first month. I dont know why. This is really a drastic change from the other school but it's too far as they are not having buses in our area anymore. What 's your opinion on your child's headstart-prek transition?
