•  Correction to Notes—
• Let's edit or erase the distinction between the en dash and em dash because
• MLA and OWL make no distinction
• I've found conflicting sources on en and em dash distinctions
• The auto-fill makes no distinction between regular text and dates
• Therefore, I will only distinguish between - (hyphen) and — (dash)

* If you have a D+ or below on an essay this quarter (outside reading or ICE):

• You may make corrections and turn in by Monday, May 20th.  You may earn up to a C- grade on your work.  I will not list this on Focus or otherwise provide reminders.  Tuesday will not count.
