always put it in the quotation marks

Anonymous — Sun, 03 Aug 2008 09:26:56 GMT

Hi,

I found out that you use quotation marks for short works like a chapter title, a title of a magazine article, a song title, and so on. Does that mean we always put those in the quotation marks wherever they might happen to occur in writing?

song title and chapter title:
OK, guys, let us listen to the "White Christmas" song.
I realize some of you have forgot to read the chapter titled "Great Koreans" and that seems to be reason why you failed this exam.

the evidence of the building blocks of life

It is there to dig in the permafrost to look for the evidence of the building blocks of life.

Hi,
I presume that the bolded "the" in the above is a must because of the specified "evidence." What are your precious viewpoints? Thanks.

What is "the tap" in "pick up the tap"

Seraphin — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 18:18:56 GMT

What does this phrase mean - to pick up the tap?

To me, the phrase is confusing as it seems applicable in MANY different scenarios.

So what exactly is "the tap" ?

Thanks

"each of whom brings..." why is it "whom?"

Anonymous — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 13:16:28 GMT

Please examine this sentence: "In it we have articles by six authors, each of whom brings a different background and perspective."

"whom" is used when it is referring to the object of a sentence. But in the above example, "each of whom brings a different background and perspective" is a subordinate clause. What is confusing to me is that the "whom," referring to the six authors, seems to be functioning as a subject in the second part of the sentence because it is the subject of the word "brings." But apparently, "each of who brings" is wrong. So does that mean if the "subject" of the subordinate clause refers to an object in the preceding clause, its pronoun (whom or who in this case) should be in the objective form? (whom)

Thank you!

Hyphen question

Anonymous — Mon, 05 May 2008 15:08:00 GMT

I often need to use the phrase, "the paper mailed on X date set a three month period of time for response." Should a hyphen be placed between the words three and month?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
