(I’m sorry, I’m working it out of my system.)
I want to go adopt one of these dogs (as the pigeon would say) RIGHT HERE RIGHT NOW. Don’t tell my children.

I had a question regarding punctuation, and, because I follow a lot of writers (as well as punctuation/grammar geeks) on Twitter (and some of them follow me back), I thought I would post it there.
Nothing doing.
So I emailed a couple of people and looked around online. I sent a query to the Chicago Manual of Style Online. (They were against what the publisher wanted to do, but acknowledged that it is common.) (Aprostrophes in years, if you want to know: 1950’s, 1800’s — not possessive, plural. CMoS says 1950s, 1880s. I concur.)
This is one of the ways I use Twitter, though. Informal polling (where should I eat downtown?), grammar/usage questions, even attempting to get some empathy/sympathy (regarding anything: my husband hogging the remote, potty training issues with my 3yo, snOMG). And it works for me that way, too.
Waiting for feedback from my blog or emails takes so long! /whine
Again, I am sensing a problem.
I’m only two days into this. I have a lot to think (and write) about.
