Yesterday, Jess monoploized the apartment. She gave the bedroom to Alan so he could sleep, then she came out into the living room where I was set up.

I asked her where she'd like me to go while she's studying (you know, they have places for that...its called the library) ( Read more... )

The Associated Press doesn't always follow standard English form, but that's how it will appear in most newspapers around the world, in quotes.

Good to know. We're both right.
