The apastrophe question and more


Angleterre 3-3  Dec 2, 07, 09:28pm  #
I am so sorry but I found more and this is due tomorrow.

Michael reiterates Williams' (is the apastrophe in the correct spot?)main priority of customer satsifaction; Therefore, as the compnay began to popularize, all changes were made based on the customer....(Semicolon, capitalization of therefore, and the commas. right or wrong?)


There was no other company like Ebay; therefore, the company had the freedom to try new things and not worry about competitors too early after the company began. But as more e-commerce websites began to appear at the end of the 1990's, the company had to fight to for its brand name and special features.

The semicolon and comma, I do not know if they belong there.Also the period before the 'but.'Something needs to be there but I do not know what.

Ebay has shocked many with the magnitude of its' success. Unlike many of its' e-commerce counterparts today....(should the comma be there and if so before or after the 's'

this is it I swear. Thank you so much!

Greetings!

No need to apologize; that's what we're here for!

Michael reiterates Williams' (is the apastrophe in the correct spot?) - Good question! There are some scholars who maintain that names ending in "s" which are not Biblical or ancient names require two, like this: Williams's; however, I have personally never liked that and think that your way is perfectly acceptable.

main priority of customer satisfaction; therefore, as the company began to become more popular, all changes were made based on the customer.... - Do not capitalize after a semicolon. I made a couple of other changes, too. (But congrats for knowing that a semicolon was usable there!)

Note the particular way eBay spells its name:
There was no other company like eBay; therefore, the company had the freedom to try new things and not worry about competitors too soon after the company began. But as more e-commerce websites began to appear at the end of the 1990s, the company had to fight to for its brand name and special features.

its success. Unlike many of its e-commerce counterparts - Strangely enough, the possessive form of "its" does not contain an apostrophe; same thing with "yours" and "hers." Only use "it's" when you mean "it is."

Good luck!

Thanks,
