FudRucker writes "For more than 400 years, astronomers have studied the sun from afar. Now NASA has decided to go there. 'We are going to visit a living, breathing star for the first time,' says program scientist Lika Guhathakurta of NASA Headquarters. 'This is an unexplored region of the solar system and the possibilities for discovery are off the charts.'"

    Greetings citizen, this is the Punctuation Police. Do you have any idea how many Quotes Per Minute you were doing back there?

    You were doing an Emphasis in a Litteral-or-Figurative only zone. Here, take some <b>'s. Use them next time, and I'm going to let you off with a warning.

    That is all. Move along.
