what does it mean when it says (sp) in quoted text?
107753
The (sp) in quoted text is there to preserve an alternative spelling or a spelling error in the original quote, so it doesn't like like the person who used the quote in his or her work is the one who misspelled it.

Most commonly this is a Runtime error of sofware written in Norweigen, Danish, German or similar languages... associated with high finance and commodity trading. \n\nIt can also be a SQL Exception; a Syntax Error; a Solaris Search error \n\nIt may not occur again. If it does, the offending software will probably require a reinstall.

It means "about" or "roughly."\n\nFor example:\nThe world population is ~6.5 Billion.\n\nOnline it's used for lots of things, including making decorative section breaks, such as this:\n~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\n\nIf it's on top of a letter, such as with "ñ" or "Ñ," then it's an accent mark. (FYI - you can make these characters by holding the "Alt" key while entering the numbers "164" or "165," respectively.\n\nHope this helps.

it is a notepad bug,\n\nThings You Can't Say in Notepad\nIf you're a Windows user, open Notepad and type in this phrase, without the quote marks and with no carriage return: "Bush hid the facts". Now save it and open it again.\n\nThe subversive text is probably gone, replaced by a line of white boxes, or Chinese characters if you have the font.\n\nWeeeird.\n\nIt's not the massive right-wing conspiracy it might seem, though. The folks at WinCustomize.com discovered an odd bug in Notepad that's triggered by a text file consisting of a four-letter word, two three-letter words, and a five letter word. Some text does it -- "this app can break" is their example -- some doesn't.\n\nIf Microsoft can't keep strange bugs out of Windows' simplest application, we'd better get used to the monthly security patch cycle.\n\n(Found via Digg)

It's Italian but it means nothing. It looks like something translated using a on line site. \n\nI think they wanted to say "live well, love often, laugh much", but this in italian would be: "vivi bene, ama spesso, ridi molto".

This appears to be in C# and if your are indeed using C# and trying to write a comment about the variable or something like that, just use "//" before your comment and place your comment after the semicolon or on the line before after the {   Basically, a comment is just ignored by the compiler so where you put it doesn't matter as long as the comment itself doesn't comment out code that is needed to execute.\n\npublic class ConsumedParts_UI_aspx : System.Web.UI.Page\n{ //Add comment here\nprotected string strOptions; //or here\n}

Sweetheart, different sources use different abreviations. Can you type out specifically what they are? Then I might be able to help you.

Yes, I would consider your example correct, unless the quote really did require an exclamation point, which it might from the tone.  I think you will find, however, that the rules are changing.  I was always taught that punctuation goes inside the quote marks (the way you did it).  But I have been working as a legal secretary for many a long year, and it's surprising how many well-educated lawyers INSIST on putting it outside the quote marks.  The argument, which makes a certain amount of sense, is that only punctuation which would have been a part of the original sentence which was quoted when it was first written should be inside, and that punctuation which is there because there is more to the sentence which includes the quote should go outside.  Of course, there is a subtle distinction from quoting an actual person and writing conversation in a fiction story.  I'm willing to bet most editors these days would accept either way.\n\nThe other thing I learned back (way, way back!) when I was young is that whenever a second person starts to speak, you start a new paragraph.  I think the idea is to help the reader figure out who is speaking without having to say "he said" or "she said" all the time.  However, I note that many books do not do that if they are describing a rapid-fire exchange of just a few words by two or more characters, because it would result in a lot of very short paragraphs, one line or maybe even just one word.  People no longer expect it.  I suppose they are willing to sort out who said what from context, which is usually but not always possible.

That is something from one of those horrible online translators - someone put in English and got that garbage.  The Latin was butchered, so it is hard to say what exactly it was supposed to say, but they generally retain the original word order.  So something like "The shadow/ghost of a man is onto me".  Those online translators ought to come with a warning.  What they do to Latin is just a crime.

VBScript uses the quotation mark as an escape character.\n\nEssentially, use two quotation marks ("") within a string to represent a single quotation mark.\n\nExample: Quoting nicknames\n\nWscript.Echo "Bret ""Hitman"" Hart" 'Using double quotes
