I Am a Big Boy
Hi SoPretentious,

I rollbacked the edits you did on my story not because they were bad edits, but because I was going for a very, very specific tone/voice, and in some cases adding commas broke the flow up.

Also, was there a reason you changed the ? I don't see why it should be changed unless you know something (maybe the template will be deleted in the future?) that I'm missing.

By the way, in this sentence:

"Oh, our little honeybee is asleep," she says tucking him in, "Better not wake him up then."

There is no need to make 'Better' lowercase. The two dialogue pieces are separate sentences.

Fixed all of them, thanks. 12:50, May 28, 2015 (UTC)
 * Again, all fixed, except number two, because while it's grammatically incorrect, it's still quite widely used, and the alternative sounds awkward. 13:54, May 28, 2015 (UTC)

Re:
Sorry. I normally check by googling words to be sure when they have Z's or U's. I didn't realize that the British spelling including C's and S's. I was familiar with the Z and S rule (like with realise), as well as the "o and u" rule (like with colour). I use Google Chrome and it's dictionary is wonky and only recognizes american based spelling. I'll try to be more careful in the future. Thanks for correcting my mistake and letting me know :) Buckle up!   I'm going to be popular!  21:50, May 28, 2015 (UTC)
