[QUOTE="slsh, post: 345854, member: 8"] I had my monthly audit yesterday, new auditor, and ... well, by the time I finished reading the corrections, I was in tears. It wasn't horrible, 98.8%, but I strive for and expect 100%, so I was a big fat baby. One thing she nailed me on was comma usage. I've been studying that up again and think I've got it, but (here comes an independent phrase so the comma before "but" is appropriate, LOL) I'm having a hard time with dates. Testing on January 2, 1990, showed fluffy cats. That is correct. My question is, how is it when the date is in numeric format (01/02/1990)? Testing on 01/02/1990 (comma or not?) showed fluffy cats. Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a blessing and a curse in my professional life, LOL. [/QUOTE]
