Can You Tell Me

Post by Whyperion »

I think we need an Enquire Within Answers Weekly for those little questions of life that the answer may not be certain.

Here are two A) should the forum title have a ?, it looks better without , is a ? always necessary if a question is implied , or is the title even a question or needing to be a question.

B i) When writing , particularly on the internet , when should abbreviations be used , and when spell a word in full. I find I am happier writing "Lancashire" when adding a qualifier to place names , but if everyone used "Lancs" would that be better. (though Lancs Cheese must be wrong)

B ii) Why isn't there a nice abbreviation for "Cheshire" (Ches. seems wrong and confused with Chester)
