A brownie for you!

In an attempt to bury the hatchet, and hopefully move forward with positive and cohesion in our editing! Plus... brownies are yummy! livelikemusic 01:57, 20 February 2015 (UTC) |
Thank you. I can't say as I've mastered the art of sending brownies quite yet so you'll have to forgive for not sending one back. Cebr1979 (talk) 02:02, 20 February 2015 (UTC)

Punctuation Within Parentheses
Hi, Cebr1979: About that "Brian Williams/Berlin Wall" sentence, within parentheses: The sentence is a "stand-alone" sentence, and it needs its own punctuation, which remains with it, within the parentheses. I pulled out an example from www.thepunctuationguide.com, as follows:
When a parenthetical sentence stands on its own, the closing punctuation mark for the sentence is placed inside the closing parenthesis.
- The idea that theoretical physics can be taught without reference to complex mathematics is patently absurd. (But don’t tell that to the publishers of such mathematics-free books—or the people who buy them.)
