Just so you know, author. If you add words into a quote you use brackets [ ], not parenthesis.
"I wish [the author] of this article used correct grammar when writing."

It is an Internet Law. One cannot criticize someone else's

grammar without making a grammatical error themselves within their criticism.
Similarly, one cannot demean someone else's intelligence without misspelling a word in their post, preferrably the most insulting word (for example, "Your an ediot!").
You can't fight the Internet Law.

Rules of Grammar (for the idiot above)
Mar 10, 2009, 10:55 AM

Rules of grammar (for the idiot)
Rule 1. Use parentheses to enclose words or figures that clarify or are used as an aside (such as in the story above). Examples: I expect five hundred dollars ($500). He finally answered (after taking five minutes to think) that he did not understand the question. Commas could have been used in the above example. Parentheses show less emphasis or importance. Em dashes, which could also have been used instead of parentheses, show emphasis.
Rule 2. Use full parentheses to enclose numbers or letters used for listed items. Example: We need an emergency room physician who can (1) think quickly, (2) treat patients respectfully, and (3) handle complaints from the public.
Rule 3. Periods go inside parentheses only if an entire sentence is inside the parentheses. Examples: Please read the analysis (I enclosed it as Attachment A.). OR Please read the analysis. (I enclosed it as Attachment A.) OR Please read the analysis (Attachment A). FYI - You can also use brackets, but typically you use brackets to emphasize something within a parenthetical concept.

Tigerkoty is wrong...

Straight from the MLA:
Adding or Omitting Words In Quotations
If you add a word or words in a quotation, you should put brackets around the words to indicate that they are not part of the original text.
Example: Jan Harold Brunvand, in an essay on urban legends, states: "some individuals [who retell urban legends] make a point of learning every rumor or tale" (78).
If you omit a word or words from a quotation, you should indicate the deleted word or words by using ellipsis marks, which are three periods (...) preceded and followed by a space.
Example: In an essay on urban legends, Jan Harold Brunvand notes that "some individuals make a point of learning every recent rumor or tale ... and in a short time a lively exchange of details occurs" (78).
I graduated Clemson with a degree in Electrical Engineering and I even know/remember that. Before you go calling people idiots, you better make sure you're right...else, you look like the bigger idiot. The only thing the "idiot" did wrong was use the word "quote" instead of "quotation."

Do you seriously think that news articles are supposed to be written in MLA style? Just curious.

The only idiot around here is someone who has nothing else to do with their time than correct grammar on a Sports Board? This is a sad, sad, state of affairs.

Congrats Mr. Hood on your story - perhaps the second grade grammar teacher has let her students run amok on her computer. Hopefully she reins them in soon and they get off Tigernet

Same as MLA, must use brackets
Mar 10, 2009, 11:21 AM
|

From APA:
Adding Material Within Quotations
Use square brackets to enclose material that you add to or change within a quotation to allow it to fit grammatically into a sentence.
Example The boy tells us that "while she [Mangan's sister] spoke she turned a silver bracelet round and round her wrist" (Jones, 1994, p. 207).

brackets indicate a matrix, you ####### tards...

...i was expecting some comments about the article's content, not about a grammar question.
i would like to congratulate you all, however, for giving block-c more ammo.
this entire commentary section fits into the dsot category.
p.s. the subject line in this post indicates sarcasm.
