The Shorter Guide to English Only
Starting a thread
- Search the forum for an answer or an existing thread before starting a new thread. (Forum Rule 1)
- The title should contain the specific words or phrase you are asking about. (Forum Rule 3)
- Write out your question clearly in the post itself. DO NOT use an image. DO NOT rely on the thread title or on links in your post.
- Provide both context and a full sample sentence for every new thread.
- One topic per thread. If you have a second question, start a new thread.
- Name the source of any quoted material from websites or print sources (Forum Rule 4)
- DO NOT request a list. For lists of synonyms or equivalents consult the WR Thesaurus. DO NOT ask a research question.
- DO NOT ask for proofreading. If you have a text for correction, ask a specific question and give your own ideas.
- Do not bump your threads or flood the forum. Read Forum Rule 8 for a fuller explanation.
