How do I express the year 1982 while abbreviating it with an apostrophe?
The most common way to abbreviate a year using an apostrophe is to replace the first two digits with an apostrophe. To express the year 1982 in this format, you would write it as '82.
Perfect, thanks! And, how would you describe the character you chose to begins that 3-character abbreviation?
The character used to begin the 3-character abbreviation '82 is an apostrophe ('). The apostrophe is a punctuation mark used to indicate possession or the omission of letters or numbers in a word or phrase. In this case, the apostrophe is being used to abbreviate the year by replacing the first two digits with the apostrophe.
Is that considered a “smart quote'?
Yes, the apostrophe used to abbreviate the year as '82 is technically considered a "smart quote". Smart quotes are also known as "curly quotes" or "typographer's quotes", and they are designed to improve the appearance of text by providing curved quotation marks and apostrophes that resemble the shape of handwriting.
In contrast, "straight quotes" are the basic, vertical quotation marks and apostrophes found on most keyboards, which are often used in programming, plain text documents, or in situations where typography is not a significant concern.
Most modern word processing software, including Microsoft Word and Google Docs, will automatically convert straight quotes to smart quotes by default, so the apostrophe used to abbreviate the year as '82 will likely be automatically converted to a smart quote when typing in these programs.
That's so useful. Thank you. And did I use proper punctuation in my sentence with the word `considered?'
Yes, you used proper punctuation in your sentence with the word "considered". Specifically, you used a question mark at the end of the sentence to indicate that you were asking a question.
The sentence, "Is that considered a 'smart quote'?" is a grammatically correct interrogative sentence. It has a subject ("that"), a linking verb ("considered"), and a predicate adjective ("smart quote"). The question mark at the end of the sentence is used to indicate that the sentence is a question, and it helps convey the tone of inquiry. Overall, the sentence is properly punctuated and grammatically correct.
What about just "now``?
The word "now" is an adverb that can be used to indicate the present time or a sense of immediacy. In terms of punctuation, the word "now" does not require any specific punctuation when used in a sentence. It can be used as a standalone word or as part of a sentence, depending on the context.
For example, "I'm busy now" is a complete sentence that uses "now" to indicate the present time. In this case, there is no need for any additional punctuation because the sentence is grammatically complete. However, if "now" is used in a context where it is emphasizing a point, it may be followed by an exclamation mark to convey a sense of urgency or importance. For instance, "I need to speak with you now!" emphasizes the urgency of the situation and may warrant the use of an exclamation mark.
That all sounds accurate to me. Thanks again, and, seriously, good night this time!
