Ible or able
- The document discusses the suffixes -able and -ible and provides tips to help determine which suffix to use when spelling words.
- -able and -ible both mean "able to be" and are used in words like readable, eatable, audible, and collapsible.
- Tip 1 for -able words is that it is the more common suffix, used in hundreds of words, so it is statistically more likely to be correct. Tip 2 is that if the root word stands alone, it usually takes -able.
- For -ible words, the tips are that there are a limited set of common words that take -ible, and the root is less likely to stand alone as an English word.
Reduced Clauses
"Reduced adverb clauses include present or past participles with or without prepositional (or adverbial) phrases and/or adverb clause markers, external/peripheral to the independent clause structure, for example, The professor looked at me, smiling broadly, or While walking to class that night, I noticed this poster, or After releasing her first CD, she made a hit movie. With full or reduced adverb clauses, the independent clause retains its structure and meaning if the subordinate construction is completely omitted. In academic texts, reduced adverb clauses integrate information compactly, while retaining the meanings and functions of full adverb clauses.
Reduced relative clauses refer to the shortening of a relative clause which modifies the subject of a sentence. Reduced relative clauses can modify the subject NOT the object of a sentence.

A business may deal with both sales and purchases occasionally. They buy things from vendors and then sell them to their customers. Such dealings can be confusing at times. Because multiple clients may inquire about the same product at the same time, after purchasing those products, customers must be assigned to them. Odoo has a tool called Reception Report that can be used to complete this assignment. By enabling this, a reception report comes automatically after confirming a receipt, from which we can assign products to orders.

Punctuation And Quotations
- 1. Punctuating Quotations A guide for the confused, to confuse you further
- 2. Punctuation and Quotations Periods and commas always go inside quotation marks, even inside single quotes. Examples: The sign changed from "Walk," to "Don't Walk," to "Walk" again within 30 seconds. She said, "Hurry up." She said, "He said, 'Hurry up.'"
- 3. Placement is logical Examples: She asked, "Will you still be my friend?" Do you agree with the saying, "All's fair in love and war"? Only one ending punctuation mark is used stronger punctuation mark wins Punctuation and Quotations
- 4. When you have a question outside quoted material AND inside quoted material, use only one question mark and place it inside the quotation mark. Example: Did she say, "May I go?" Punctuation and Quotations
- 5. Use single quotation marks for quotes within quotes. Note that the period goes inside all quote marks. Example: He said, "Danea said, 'Do not treat me that way.'" Punctuation and Quotations
- 6. Use quotation marks to set off a direct quotation only. Examples: "When will you be here?" he asked. He asked when you will be there. Punctuation and Quotations
- 7. Do not use quotation marks with quoted material that is more than three lines in length. Punctuation and Quotations
- 8. Punctuation and Quotations Long direct quotes Example:(Introduction)Boonmadid not usually understand the motivation of other people: Boonmadidn’t understand why the towkay wouldn’t pay it while the boat was docked and when the fish had been unloaded, even though it belonged to the crew. Why was it paid through the skipper once the boat had pulled out to sea on its next trip? And if anyone did not go out on this trip, he lost his share (No Way Out 69).
- 9. Punctuation and Quotations In our book No Way Out, the publisher has chosen to use single-quotation marks through the text. This is a British method. The most important thing is that the opening and closing quotation marks match each other. For World Lit, please use double-quotation marks and single marks within the double, when necessary.
Editor's Notes
- The placement of question marks with quotes follows logic. If a question is in quotation marks, the question mark should be placed inside the quotation marks. Examples:She asked, "Will you still be my friend?" Do you agree with the saying, "All's fair in love and war"?Here the question is outside the quote. NOTE: Only one ending punctuation mark is used with quotation marks. Also, the stronger punctuation mark wins. Therefore, no period after war is used.
- Use the colon to introduce a direct quotation that is more than three lines in length. In this situation, leave a blank line above and below the quoted material. Single space the long quotation. Some style manuals say to indent one-half inch on both the left and right margins; others say to indent only on the left margin. Quotation marks are not used. Example:The author of Touched, Jane Straus, wrote in the first chapter: Georgia went back to her bed and stared at the intricate patterns of burned moth wings in the translucent glass of the overhead light. Her father was in “hyper mode” again where nothing could calm him down. He’d been talking nonstop for a week about remodeling projects, following her around the house as she tried to escape his
