Re: Sentence

The punctuation is wrong but the words are right. You have to put the made-up word in quotation marks like this:

"Bcefghjklmpquvxyz" isn't a word.

If it's included in a longer sentence, write it like this: "'Bcefghjklmpquvxyz' isn't a word," or, it it ends the sentence it's included in, like this: "'Bcefghjklmpquvxyz' isn't a word."

The exact punctuation is important.

You need to stop writing posts as if you're writing a formal letter. We're quite informal here. If you want to open with a greeting, stick with "Hello". There is no need to thank us in advance. Thank us after we help you. Soon, you should be able to see the "Thank" button and you will be able to click that instead. It's much quicker and more convenient for everyone.
