harleybunny2227  +  21375 Wed, 04 Feb 04 10:07 PM Please can someone help me with the following: 1. Sarah wanted her life to be remembered; therefore, she staged a pageant. (Should there be a comma after Sarah? And should I put a semicolon after remembered?) 2. A first class employee is: dependable, loyal, and efficient. (Since first class cannot be separated, shouldn't it be joined with a hyphen? Also should a colon be used after is?) Thank you so much in advance..... harleybunny2227 Joined on Wed, Jan 28 2004 Somewhere is Pennsylvania New Member 14 Colons, Commas, Hyphens, Semicolons
