I can no longer follow what the official title of Dinosaur species are. Therefor, since you attribute your name to being a Dino, I've created a new species category called "Madonnasurus." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it was the massive font that often occurs during cut and paste. We often like to choose other people's words to emphasize our own, yet when doing so, indicate sources as well as make sure to modify the effects of cutting and pasting. We also use "quotations" to emphasize outside resources. Notice the quotation marks? This is commonly used when quoting something. There are plenty of examples where the peeps here are making statements without indicating sources. Edited March 27, 2021 by O'Neal's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg_orangecounty Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 Are you folks arguing about vaccines again............................? ugh. But to answer the O.P. No, I will not be attending whatever form DCI will be this year. It's scheduled the same time as a milestone birthday and wedding anniversary celebration. But I'll be rooting them on and grateful to the corps sticking their necks on the line to appear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quotations are only the first step - you need to cite the source as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While i appreciate their use of punctuation, I would appreciate more their ability to stay in the package prior to consumption. https://dynaimage.cdn.cnn.com/cnn/c_fill,g_auto,w_1200,h_675,ar_16:9/https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.cnn.com%2Fcnnnext%2Fdam%2Fassets%2F200401135136-peeps-candy.jpg 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
