>> Have you noticed that the grammar and spellcheckers with word 
processing programs, such as MS. Word are notoriously inaccurate?  To 
take Susan's example of apostrophes, it often tries to correct my 
writing on the words "its" and it's".  Usually, it is completely 
wrong.  <<


SSSusan:
IIRC, it also instructs us to put a comma before *every* occurence 
of "which," whether that comma is needed or not.

Now, where I need guidance is in whether to put the comma before or 
after the * if I'm emphasising a word by that technique.  So, if I'm 
saying, "But I think in terms of teaching Harry, Snape is 
**terrible**..." do I put the comma before or after those two **?  
:-)
