media type="custom" key="27303256" Interview by Taylor Hartman & Hannah Kolmansberger

Taylow: Sports: a. The Powder Puff game during Homecoming; during a powder puff game it is common.... (two words, only capitalize it as a proper noun). b. Lady Buffs
 * Rules for //The Blue & White// **

Street Addresses:  - Always spell out and capitalize First through Ninth. (Ex.) Second St., Third St., and Fourth St.  If the street number is higher than nine, write the numerals and ending subtitle. (Ex.) 12th St., 76th St., or 32nd St. -The number of the house or building is always written using numerals. (Ex.) 745 Fourth St., 1274 15th St., or 112 11th St.

Times:  - When writing times always add p.m. or a.m. to the end, unless you state that an activity will be held at 6 in the evening or 9 in the morning because you are then indicating what time of day it is and do not need to specify that again. (Ex.) 3 p.m., 9 a.m., or 11:30 in the morning It is best to say noon, instead of 12 p.m., and midnight, instead of 12 a.m., to be sure that the audience knows exactly what time you mean and can avoid getting them mixed up.

Quotes:  - When directly quoting someone put quotes around what the person said, adding a comma at the end of the quote but before the ending quotation mark, to credit the quote to the person. If you want to credit them before the quote have some sort of lead in, it could simply be this person says or that person explains, with the comma coming after the introduction and then your quote with a period, or other punctuation, at the end.  (Ex.) Mr. Smith explains, "This year will be a great one because we have a great group of students and I know they will do their best." <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.3333px; vertical-align: baseline;"> "I'm so glad I joined journalism," says Peter Pan. <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.3333px; vertical-align: baseline;"> Patrick Kenny states, "Make sure I am on studio the week of my birthday because I'm gonna make sure everyone knows!"

Gigi:

Clock time: 7:45 p.m.; however, do not use for on the hour times: 8 p.m., not 8:00 p.m.

The project Trevelyn said, would be unduly demanding. When attributing a direct quote, the comma is placed within the quotation mark: "I love my job, Editor Emily Busse said.

Dimensions an measurements: spell out "feet/foot," "inches/inches," "yard," "meter," "kilometer," ect. In more technical contexts, use an apostrophe to indicate feet and quote marks for inches (10'2"). The only measurement to abbreviate in the metric system is millimeter (mm) which is only acceptable if it referrs to film width or it involves weapons.

adjectives derived from proper manes many not be capitalized, as in french fries, venetian blinds, french toast; but American and English as adjectives, as well as Arabic numerals, and Roman numerals are exceptions and should be capitalized.

Shawna: Do NOT use comma between the state and ZIP code in an address. Use double quotation marks to enclose titles of: motion pictures, plays, songs, speeches, video games, and TV programs. NEVER STATE THE OBVIOUS!

Melissa: Abbreviations and Acronyms: Abbreviate only to simplify and clarify content What to abbreviate: -Clergy -High school names if understood; ex. MUHS for Marysville Union High School -Junior and senior after full names; ex. John Jones Sr., John Jones Jr. -Months of the year when used with specific dates; ex. Jan. Feb., Sept., Oct., Nov., Dec., but not March, April, May, June, or July. -Organization and government names; ex. FFA, FBI, FBLA, PTO, NASA, and ROTC -Time of Day; ex. a.m. or p.m. What not to abbreviate -Cents; ex. 45 cents, not $.45, 45 cts. -Christmas, never us Xmas -Days of the week; ex. Monday, not Mon. -Write percent as one word; ex. 45 percent, not 45 per cent -Degrees: bachelor's degree, a master's degree, and a doctorate; ex. B.A., M.A., LL.D., and Ph.D. -Names of foreign countries
