Do not use appreviations (example: cuz) or conversational language (example: Um, well…). Capitalize all words that should be capitalized and spell check and proofread your post (hint: type your response in Microsoft Word and copy and paste it into the wiki page). I am expecting to see intelligent academic discussions about the works we study. ======
