Description
These previously commented out placeholder modules are removed in #1383. It would be good to implement them properly at some point. The source for metaconcepts is unknown; however, usage appears to be intended as a companion to composition, citing the following (Strunk & White, Elementary Rules of Usage).
Strunk & White say:
- Form the possessive singular of nouns by adding 's.
- In a series of three or more terms with a conjunction, use a comma after
each term except the last. - Enclose parenthetic expressions between commas. ("This rule is difficult to apply.")
- Place a comma before a conjunction introducing an independent clause.
- Do not join independent clauses with a comma; use a semi-colon. Or a period.
- Do not break sentences in two. Do not use periods for the role of commas.
- Use a colon after an independent clause if you introduce: a list of
particulars, an appositive, an application, or an illustrative quotation. - Use a dash to set off an abrupt break or interruption and to announce a
long appositive or summary. - The number of the subject determines the number of the verb. (MDPNB: This will require nltk & syntactic parsing)
- Use the proper case(grammatical gender) of pronouns.
- MDPNB: hard case: "Give this work to whoever looks idle."
whoever looks idleis the object ofto.
- MDPNB: hard case: "Give this work to whoever looks idle."
- A participial phrase at the beginning of a sentence must refer to the
grammatical subject.
