Randomized English Usage

Today, instead of writing any concept as such, I have decided to write random and un-categorized post.

We, Indians are very good at making Indianism of what ever we get from the hinterland. For e.g. If you have seen the Chinese hut standing on a brazen, stinky road side, you will get to know the recepies cooked are not Chinese, but Indo-Chinese which are prepared wit hlot of oil, salt and Indina spices.

Who cares of it huh... Well, such things hardly matters as long as your taste buds are satiated. But English is not like they way we perceive. Even though I am not an expert in it, but i love to find what is the std. usage and what is Indianism. There are lot of them actually.

Here we go..
I am writing two sentences which actually took me a minute to recognize whats the difference between them. Even after identifying the difference, I sloshed my brain number of time to think what the heck!! is it really a difference.

Sentence 1: He said, "Bite me."
Sentence 2: He said, "Bite me"

Any thought on this? Which one is following the std. English usage?
Okey, i gotta go for a meeting now and I will keep this post open for editing at later stage. mean while, you guys can post your thoughts on the above mentioned question.


/*****************Addition to the previous post************************
Before I start discussing some other random english usage, let me answer the above question first. From the two statements, as one can correctly see, the difference is only of a full stop. Now the question is, should there be full stop in double quotes or not.

If you could analyse closely, The subject in the statement is talking about the second person & second person has said "Bite me" in his statement, as this is the complete statement, there should be full stop for concluding this statement.

This might seems cliche, but such small things may get lost in oversight when you are actually writing a CAT in stressed out environment.

Std. Usage - II
Let us discuss a sentence here.
I want a hot dog which is deep fried.
Can you notice the error in the sentence?

The correct sentence should look like - I want a hot dog, which is deep fired.

A single comma is necessary here in this statement because "Which" here is a non-restrictive dependant clause that needs to set off with a comma.

If you accustom your eyes for such small and minute errors, you can easily eliminate the wrong answer options in RC questions, EU & grammar questions as well.

Hopw this post has helped you..
