Author Topic: Those people at the MPAA are out of their freaking minds! Manny Knowles "What are these things and WHY are they BLUE???"

However, "exclamation point" would still be valid when referring to the place or "point" in the overall written work where an exclamation occurs.  |  IP: Logged Mitchell Dvoskin Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1869 From: West Milford, NJ, USA Registered: Jan 2001 posted 12-16-2003 07:30 AM                     And 20 years of anti-drug advertising has eliminated illegal drugs...  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 12-17-2003 03:33 AM                        The first typewriter I ever used (when I was a kid) had no explanation point, thing, whatever. You had to type an apostrophe and then backspace and put a period under it. Let's see ya try that with a computer.  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!! Posts: 12814 From: Annapolis, MD Registered: Dec 1999 posted 12-17-2003 06:35 AM                     That was because you also didn't have a "1" key you had to use the lower case "L" . Yeah then there is the "margin release"...aka MarRel or simply M-R for when you just gotta go beyond to avoid a carriage return.
