It depends on which style reference you follow. Some (like AP style), do not underline, italicize, or put quotations marks around magazine titles. There is no single standard or right way to do it. Personally, I don't think any special treatment is necessary, but if this is for a school paper, I'd check with the instructor.

ON THOSE OCCASSIONS THAT YOU HAVE A LOT ON YOUR MIND, WRITE IT DOWN.  DON'T WORRY ABOUT GRAMMER OR PUNCUATION JUST WRITE. GET IT OUT OF YOUR HEAD AND ONTO THE PAPER.  KEEP IT ON DON'T IT IS UP TO YOU.  HOPE IT HELPS.

Italicize all books.  I think underlining is more for written work.

yes, but you probably have to have something contradictory in the paragraph preceeding it. As in, "....and it seemed as though everything was fine.\n\n"Yet, Demitri couldn't shake the feeling that the gerbil had lied..."\n\nIf you're writing a scholarly work, it's probaby a good idea to stick to the rules of writing. But if you're writing, say, a novel, throw the rule book out. Start graphs with "yet". Write an entire paragraph backwards. Whatever you need to do to get the idea across. In Hubert Selby's book, "Last Exit to Brooklyn", he wrote an entire four or five pages with no punctuation at all. Just used "and" over and over. and for what he was writing about, it worked great.

Written is worse, especially on a computer, where it stays in cyberspace forever to haunt you.  I was doing some research for work the other day, and found an article I had written six years ago, and how it read wasn't what I meant.\n\nPlus, it is difficult to express sarcasm or inflection with written words, and in theory, one could have time to organize one's thoughts and proofread before committing words to paper.

Well, if I was your editor, I'd start by telling you that the above is not a question.  It is not a sentence.  It does not tell us what you want.  Are you looking for someone who will perform this service for you?  Are you asking us whether we think it is a good idea to edit and proofread?  Were you perhaps asking what is the right terminology?  It is editing and proofreading.\n\nThere!

You need to decide whether you are writing a news piece or a feature. \n\nie Girl with body piercings gets stuck to fridge!\n\nor Body piercings? Are they magnetising our children?\n\nThen go and buy a newspaper and see how journalists structure these pieces. Example: health features are often built around a 'recent report'.

I have a couple grammar suggestions for you:\n\n- I'm not sure if this happened because of Yahoo or if you typed it in this way, but you should only have capital letters at the beginning of a sentence or for proper nouns (like for a person's name, or for a place name like "Paris", or for a product name like "Colgate").\n\n- Also, punctuation is VERY important.  If you don't clearly punctuate your writing, it is hard to understand.  For example, make sure that you have periods at the end of each of your sentences so that readers will know where one thought starts and another thought begins.\n\nIn terms of the clarity of this paragrpah, I here are my thoughts:\n\n- Figure out what the main thing that you're trying to say in this paragraph is, and make sure to state that CLEARLY in your first sentence.  This helps the reader to know what to expect to read in the paragraph.  Based on what you're writtetn, in sounds like your main point is something about how advertising, especially TV advertising, has the potential to influence people's behavior.  I would use the next few sentences to explain, generally, how television advertisements have the potential to influence people (I would do this by explaining how advertising companies target certain ads to certain audiences during certain programs, etc).  I would then say "For example..." and use your example of the Colgate commercial having the potential to influence a child to behave like the child he or she saw in the commerical.  I would then suggest that you have a sentence at the end of your paragrpah that conlcudes your ideas and helps to prepare the reader for what he/she will read in your next paragraph (if there is one).\n\nHope this helps!!

Did you get it on sale? Save it for a special occasion, like your next english lesson! Then use it.\nP.S.\nNice 360! I like the background.

That is called a "word salad" and I can't fix it.  I would have to print it out and totally re-write the entire mess.\n\nIt's too long, it's too repetitive, it's too confusing, poor sentence structure, no paragraphs... verbs, nouns.. ahhhh  grrrrr,,,,\n\nno, I can't fix it for you.  do it again.. shorten it and get to the point.

Punctuation is not a pre-writing technique.  That can be refined during editing or your second draft.\n\nIt looks like the final think you listed was cut off  "ve.." so I can't comment on that one.\n\nHope that helps.  Good luck!

Dude, \n\nIf you are going to make a magazine, I HOPE you are not going to be the editor. You need to find someone with proper spelling and grammar that can fix what you write. \n\nBesides that... I think TOP NOTCH is a good name.

you could write it instead, in a card maybe, on a tag attached to a small gift, etc.  sometimes doing things in writing is alot easier than speaking them :)  good luck!

It is correct in spoken English as well as written English(firstly and secondly etcetra should be used mostly when you're asked things to be told in direct points only.Otherwise I'd suggest that you go towards a more creative aproach in handling it if you're writing a story, essay..... or atleast try to disguise the firstly and secondly point like -\n\nThe the time was near and first and foremost I had forgotten to get the dinner ready.The second thing which worried me was that my right eye would start twitching madly if I didn't do anything properly.....\n\nSee how creative you can get!!!)

I'm sorry I'm replying without answering the question, but please, PLEASE, PLEASEEE never never NEVER put an unnecessary apostrophe in the posessive form of "its." I can see maybe leaving out a necessary apostrophe if you're too lazy, but adding one just demonstrates ignorance, because technically it takes more time to do so. Please don't, for the more sensitive among us. Open a grammar book. It's a tragedy the subject's not taught these days.
