AP Style#2

1. His new book on elections and the Electoral College, is titled "Does your vote count"?
2. Brianna looked so sad that he wanted to wrap her in his arms and give her a big hug, but he was afraid that the attention would phase her.
3. They were so impressed by her flair for decorating that they offered tremendous praise and agreed to distribute her promotional flyer.
4. He suspected his neighbor was selling drugs, so he called the bureau. His neighbor however, cried foul at the accusation. 
5. The boy's stories didn't jibe so their father threw down the gauntlet and demanded the truth.
6. My great grandfather is a real gourmet, so I always let him pick the wine whenever we have dinner.

  1. 1) OK, but if you get rid of the comma on one side of a clause, you have to get rid of the comma on the other side too.
    2) fix the word, don't rewrite the sentence. Look up "phase."
    3) look up "flyer"
    4) look up Federal Bureau of Investigation
    5) OK
    6) look up "great"
