Use of Quotes to set off info

[jadedragon]

What would the correct way be to show a suggested search string? Something like this: To find guest blogging opportunities that offer revenue sharing search for "blog+your niche+revenue share". I suspect that this got my article rejected for spelling and/or grammar errors.

Also is it correct to place specific words to look for within quotes? Like this: When you are on XYZ site look for the "Join Here" button to access the subscriber features. Thanks for clarifying.

These seem fine to me. These would not have garnered a rejection for spelling or grammar. If I thought that the way you set off a section of text was confusing, I would have said so. In addition, such an error would be more likely related to punctuation or clarity if a problem was identified re: this issue.

Thanks - I got the missed ' mark in the first sentence of one article but I'm completely baffled at a spelling rejection. If you still see it on resubmission please identify specially.

Hi Jade,

I noticed "easer" for the word "easier." This was in the first one-third of the article. I'll be honest and say I didn't read much past that.

Thanks,
Ed

Ok, I fixed that typo in the Blogging for Cash: Guest Posting article. That one was not rejected out of the system. Please check the revised version.

Can I suggest a new category for rejections that would save everyone time: "Typos/Missed Letter(s)" Missing a letter like an S on the end while still forming another valid word is not really a true spelling error or a grammar error. It is also so much easier to find when we know the issue is fat fingers rather than truly bad grammar. Just my two cents.

I can't determine what the author is thinking when the make an error. I make my best judgement as to what it is. If it's an obvious spelling error/typo, I say so, like in the article rejected for "easer." If the problem results in a grammar error, that's what gets indicated, because that's what it looks like to a reader. A missing "s" will result in a grammar error - lack of subject-verb agreement for example.

Thanks,
Ed

Well sometimes we just are NOT thinking so I see how it is hard to figure out what we are thinking sometimes.
