Punctuation and Typing

Hi guys! Just a few rules for typing, punctuation and capitalization in English:

No space between a comma (,) and the word in front of it:
(o) Every weekday,
(x) Every weekday ,

One or two spaces after a period (.) question mark (?) or exclamation point (!) (depending on style)
(o) I like dogs. I don't like cats.
(x) I like dogs.I don't like cats.

Do not put words in ALL CAPS. This is incorrect in most written English, and “shouting” in the Internet or e-mail.
(o) Please sent the report to me
(X) PLEASE SEND THE REPORT TO ME
(o) udon
(x) UDON

For proper nouns (names of people or places)
(o) Samurai Express
(o) Boston
(o) Samuel Adams

Foreign words are written either:
(o) udon
(o) katsuobushi

Thanks guys for such great entries!  Keep in touch!
