Okay, so I may be starting this "May or May Not Know" thing, but it's a little post I'll put up every now and then with writing tips or facts, one that the average writer may know, and one that the average writing probably doesn't know.
May Know
As of now, writing "Said (insert name here)" after dialog is only accepted in fantasy novels. In any other genre, it should be written as "(Insert name here) said." (I'm pretty sure about this.)
May Not Know
The simple present tense of the word spit is simply spit. The simple future tense of the word spit is will spit. But the simple past tense of the word spit is not spit. It's spat. So you don't write, "She was so furious that she spit on the ground." You would write, "She was so furious that she spat on the ground." Make sense?
If you wish to challenge any of the above, you're welcome to. Just please don't write anything inappropriate. This site is intended for all ages.
