With the title change from Help and Support to MsgPlus! Help and Support thanks to me and the rest of us elites I noticed a small bug.

We are always getting after n00bs to correct their spelling when they are refering to Messenger Plus! but we should be ashamed of ourselves and appologize to those we have wronged. Because they are only following what they see.

Thake this image for example:



There is no trailing ! behind MsgPlus .

wj I tried adding you to MSN to tell you this but to no avail. Any Admin want to fix this?

That was unnecessary.

You might want to change this one as well

But... there's a period there...

MsgPlus!.

No, a ! removes the need for a .

If that makes sense

Even in this case? I don't think so...

The exclamation (!) is part of the name of a piece of software, not part of the sentence. Therefore, it shouldn't be used to end the sentence.

Ok i didnt think of it in that way. If you dont want to have the (!) followed by the full stop you could always re-arrange the wording.

Now:

Edit: now I have a comma after it because I wanted the order right... oh well.

When giving a short and simple list of things in a sentence, the last comma (right before the conjunction - usually and or or) is optional, but it is never wrong. If the items in the list are longer and more complicated, you should always place a final comma before the conjunction.
