1) "Warner Bros." is the name of the company. You are incorrect on your advice on this point. "Warner" is not the name of the company as is not used as a reference to the company. The company's formal name is "Warner Brothers", but is more commonly referred to as "Warner Bros." http://www.warnerbros.com/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warner_Bros.
2) That's not even usable advice. You're just making stuff up now.
3) This is not formal writing (notice my use of the correct word). Contractions are acceptable.
4) No it can't. "One of the parties" and "one party" are saying two different things. You are changing the meaning of the sentence just so you can add one more bullet point to your list of non-errors.
Upon consideration, why does your comment not address the original point? Because you know you're wrong? Yes, that's it.
Your response did three things:
1. criticized my placement of a comma in relation to quotation marks ... does not defend your point.
2. offered a synonym for a word I used ... does not defend your point.
3. simply questioned the necessity of a phrase ... does not defend your point.
At no point did you address the points I make against your comment, so you concede that my argument is sound and that your original point flawed?
1) But the comma is not part of the quote. This is a logic point I make in the face of grammar. You did not type "feel well," with a comma, so if I were to include the comma inside the quotes, I would be misquoting you. Of course, you do the same thing in your point #2, so you must not be American if you attribute me being American with misplacing the comma.
2) No, I meant "to suggest".
3) But there are other cases where "good" could be modifying "feel", in which case "in this case" is specifying the particular instance we're discussing and not applying as a general rule.
Stop spamming crappy Facebook groups.
And I guess the Grammar Correction Specialist has no need for spell checker, because the Grammar Correction Specialist is going to have the Spelling Secret Police giving them a visit for not being able to spell "grammar", "comments", "your", or "more".
But seriously, I would never trust grammar tips from someone who can't spell "grammar".
I disagree, considering "good" is not meant to modify the verb, as it is not describing the ability to feel, but describing an emotional state.
By putting the adverb "well" with the verb "feel" you are using "well" to describe the action. So, if one says that they "feel well", then they would be saying that have adequate ability to feel.
Additionally "well" is also used to describe a state of health. So to "feel well" would also mean to be in a positive state of health, not an emotional state.
Using "good" implied an emotional state, so to "feel good" implies a positive emotion. "Good" in this case is not modifying "feel", but referencing the emotional state of the fans.
Mike used the appropriate usage. You are advising him poorly.

Just goes to show you ... when artists can copyright their works and live off of royalties, they get lazy.
When you get paid to work, you have to keep working to keep getting paid. Evidently recording artists like to work a little bit, take a decade off, and then bitch about how all their hard work is being ripped off. Otherwise, they can't afford the mortgages on their multi-million dollar homes and might have to actually *gasp* live a more reasonable life.
Vince Neil on the other hand. That man's a class-act all the way. His time on Surreal Life proved that to me ... he's a real down-to-earth guy.
How do you know they didn't call your station, pretending to be someone else, and got your number and info from someone in your place of work? And then once one of them gets your info, it can get passed around. I wouldn't be surprised that criminals on your website might actually know each other in some regard.
You say our cell phone number isn't published on-line, so they obviously aren't using the Internet to get the information. And they likely aren't using the Internet to stake out people to rob.
Social hacking is almost always the easiest way to get information ... the least secure computer is the one in the human head.
That makes total logical sense from a usage point of view. I had started mixing usage with "theater" ... and the distinct difference mentioned in your link makes total sense.
Theater for buildings & systems.
Theatre for the art form.

It's one thing to know if someone is home or not ... it's another thing to know where that home is.
Not to mention roommates, spouses, family members ... just because one person isn't home doesn't mean the house is empty. Alarm systems, guard pigs, booby traps ... just because no one is home doesn't mean it's safe. Security cameras, webcams, motion cameras ... just because it's empty & safe doesn't mean no one is watching.
Generally, most homes that will be empty are empty between 9am and 5pm, so anyone looking to rob someone would do better to just go driving around at 8:30am and watch people leave their homes to go to work. And those who don't work probably don't have anything worth stealing anyway.
And as low tech as you can get, someone came to our door during the day once and asked about a missing dog. Now think about that. Someone can go around and knock on people's doors during the day when most people are at work ... if someone answers "have you seen my lost dog?" ... if no one answers, start looking for an open window.
I think a Twitter or Facebook status update saying "I'm going to run some errands" is really the 'least of people's concerns if they're looking to protect their property.
The answer is obvious. Nobody is allowed to post ANYTHING to the Internet without first hiring a legal team to clear all content against possible copyright infringement. As soon as every collection agency has approved the content as being free of any rights conflict, then the content is to be posted on the Internet behind a username and password with a 30-day review process for any independent artists to vet their rights. After this review process, THEN the content will be publicly available to all people.
It's funny because at the time Jeff Bezos recognized that the One-Click Patent was ridiculous, and even used it as an example of what's wrong with the patent system. But that hasn't stopped him from defending it vigorously at using it to sue competitors.

Word 97 once flagged it with spell check with the note (this is really what it said): "Theatre is a British spelling. Try an American one."
I stopped using spell check after that and just worked on spelling better. But I still spell it "theatre".
