The first glance is simple but it is. Highlighting introductory words, introductory sentences and plug-in constructions in writing. NOT separated by a comma

From "Memo to the Proofreader"

"Commas, punctuation
“In addition” - ALWAYS stands out with commas (both at the beginning and in the middle of a sentence).
In general (without the “that” particle), it is ALWAYS highlighted with commas (both at the beginning and in the middle of a sentence).

ALWAYS without commas:
"Primarily"
"At first sight"
"More likely"
"Like"
"Like"
"For sure"
“Of course” (if there is “same”, then ALWAYS without commas)
"Generally"

More:
The comma is NOT included
at the beginning of a sentence:
“Before… I was…”
" Since…"
"Before as…"
"Despite the fact that…"
"As…"
"In order to…"
"Instead of…"
“Actually…”
"While…"
"Besides..."
"However…"
“Despite the fact that ...” (at the same time - separately); DO NOT put a comma before "what".
"If…"
"After…"
“And…”

"Moreover" - is distinguished by a comma only in the middle of the sentence (on the left).

"Nevertheless" - a comma is placed in the middle of the sentence (on the left).

If "however" means "but", then the comma on the right side is NOT put.

“In general” (without the particle “that”) - stands out with commas (including at the beginning of a sentence)!

“In the end” - if in the meaning “in the end”, then the comma is NOT put.

“Finally” in the meaning of “finally” - DOES NOT stand out with commas.

“And this despite the fact that ...” - in the middle of a sentence, a comma is ALWAYS put!

“Based on this, ...” - a comma is placed at the beginning of the sentence. BUT: “He did so on the basis of ...” - the comma is NOT put.

"Really" - in the meaning of "in fact" - is NOT separated by commas.

“..., and therefore, ...”, “..., and maybe ...” - a comma after “a” is NOT put.

“After all, if ..., then ...” - a comma before “if” is NOT put, since the particle “then” goes on. If there is no “then” particle, then a comma before “if” is put!

“Less than two years…” – a comma before “what” is NOT put, because this is NOT a comparison.

A comma before "HOW" is placed only in case of comparison.

“Politicians such as Ivanov, Petrov, Sidorov ...” - a comma is placed, because is the noun "politics".
BUT: “... politicians such as Ivanov, Petrov, Sidorov ...” - a comma is NOT put before “how”.

Commas are NOT included:
“God forbid”, “God forbid”, “for God's sake” - do not stand out with commas, + the word “God” is written with a small letter.

BUT: commas are placed in two directions:
“Glory to God” in the middle of a sentence is highlighted with commas on both sides (the word “God” in this case is capitalized) + at the beginning of the sentence - is highlighted with a comma (on the right side).
“By God” - in these cases, commas are placed on both sides (the word “god” in this case is written with a small letter).
"Oh my God" - separated by commas on both sides; in the middle of the sentence "God" - with a small letter.

Headings and subheadings do not contain dots.

University, universities - always in small letters.

The names of music albums, songs, discs, films, works, etc. are written in quotation marks.

Foreign words are written in quotation marks.

Special correspondent, correspondent correspondent, photo correspondent, correspondent account, deputy head - we write in one word and without dots (BUT! Dots are also allowed, this is not a mistake).

Proper names in the common sense - "manilov", "chichikov" - always with a small letter.

Etc., etc., i.e., because, so-called. - always written without spaces.

Billion rubles, million rubles, million tons, etc. – dot is not put (8 billion rubles, 35 million rubles, 152 million tons, 161.2 million tons, 209 billion barrels of oil). BUT! EXAMPLE: 54 million sq. m of housing (a dot + space is put after the square!)

Between the number (№) and the number (5) - always put a space:
№ 5, № 10, № 12.

5%, 25%, 100% - always without spaces.
20 percent (between the number and the word - always a hyphen without spaces).

Numbers up to 10 (ten) inclusive are written in words! “This war lasted for five years…”, “They didn’t eat anything for almost four days”, etc.

"One-two", "two-three", "three-four", "five-six", etc. - numbers (in verbal form) with a difference of one unit - are ALWAYS written with a HYPHEN and without spaces. BUT!

Otherwise, ALWAYS Dash! One-three, one-four, one-five, one-six, two-four, five-seven, three-eight.

"3rd grade student" is an ordinal number. Therefore, "go" is put.
“1st place”, “They took 3rd place” is an ordinal number, so “e” (increment) is put!
“Child 4 years old”, “Boy 12 years old” is a cardinal number. Therefore, no extensions (4, 12) are placed.

BUT! REMEMBER! In the marine theme, "rank" is written only in numbers and without extension: "Captain 1st rank", "Captain 3rd rank", etc. - “go” is NOT written.

September 1 is an ordinal number. But if the number is followed by the name of the month, then "go" is NOT written.
“On the 1st, on Monday, we went ...” is an ordinal number. But there is no name of the month, so the increment “go” follows.

“2009” - if there is the word “year”, then the increment is NOT written (2009, 2009 is wrong!). “The following events took place in 2009…” is the correct spelling!

“2009” - if there is no word “year”, then the increment is written (2009, 2009 ...) - “2009 is marked by the following events ...”

At first sight

adverbial expression and introductory expression

1. Adverbial expression. The same as "at the beginning, according to the first impression." Does not require punctuation marks.

Already at first glance one could distinguish that it was not a Yakut, although he was dressed in the Yakut way. V. Korolenko, Sokolinets. He was stupid at first sight , white flaxen hair fell straight from a strangely shaped head, a pale face, with white eyelashes and somewhat squinting eyes. A. Herzen, Doctor Krupov. Indeed, look, indeed, how at first sight everything between us is cold, gloomy, as if angry... F. Dostoevsky, White Nights.

2. Introductory expression. The same as "as it seemed at first". It is separated by punctuation marks, usually commas. For details on punctuation for introductory words, see Appendix 2. ()

Especially ugly, at first sight, in all this roulette bastard there was that respect for the occupation, that seriousness and even deference with which everyone surrounded the tables. F. Dostoevsky, Player. It's insignificant, at first sight, the event, as our readers will now see, unexpectedly led to a serious change in the moods and dreams of old Hottabych. L. Lagin, Old Man Hottabych. At first sight - nothing special, a suit like a diving suit and a helmet like a diver's, with a large window in front. A. and B. Strugatsky, Roadside Picnic.

@ It can be difficult to distinguish between an adverbial expression and an introductory expression "at first glance". In disputable cases, the decision on punctuation marks is made by the author of the text.

At first glance, it seems that with the help of instruments it is possible to obtain objective data on the physical parameters at UFO landing sites,

UFOs that allow for multiple re-explorations. The methodology of these studies can be presented in the following sequence: determining the exact coordinates of the landing site, conducting radio engineering, chronal, cytological and other objective studies in the landing spot.

Ufologists usually determine the coordinates of the landing spot by dowsing, that is, with the help of dowsers. There are many reasons to believe that this ancient, little studied method of searching for underground water veins (now used in geology) is associated with demonic influence. With the help of a vine (or its modern version - a metal frame, sometimes even with a soldered capacitor) they also “received” answers to questions - whether the contactee is deceiving or “truly testifies”. How, in this case, and through WHOM did the soulless frame confirm the state of a person's conscience?!

Radio technical sensors made it possible to measure the change in the frequency radiation in the “spot” and around it, which can be equal to 1–5% of the fundamental frequency.

In the landing zone, so-called chronal effects were observed (changes in the accuracy of electronic and mechanical watches, which, as a rule, begin to go faster in the “spot”).

Cytological, biological and soil studies revealed a sharp decrease in the number of protozoa in the soil of the “spot” compared to the background (up to 10 or more times), a difference in the composition of potassium, phosphorus and nitrogen (from 3 to 10 times in the vegetation of the “spot”), etc. According to geophysical data, the percentage of a number of elements in the “spot” (compared to the background) can differ by a factor of 2–17.

And if the data of the last three measurements are more or less objective (due to the characteristics of microwave radiation at the moment when the devices are affected, as I said, presumably with the help of plasmoid structures), then problems soon arose with radio technical data.

An extremely interesting phenomenon emerged. It turned out that UFOs are not visible on every radar (radar station) at the same time - they are visible on one (one band), but not on the other (other band). We have even come to an approximate range of radiation that can be observed and which cannot be observed. But what about the objectivity of instruments then?

But the most amazing thing happened to my portable measuring devices the size of a voice recorder (which recorded the change in the frequency of some circuit in the “spot” where the landing took place). At first, I safely went with them to landings (we examined seven places in the Moscow region), collected a lot of data, and began to systematize them. But somehow it happened that I could not go myself. And for the next study of the landing traces in the Pushkino area, in Legkovo, where the regional boarding house is located, I sent my student who lives not far away. It looked incredible, but on the same device, this student received ... completely different data than I had!

And then I asked to take measurements of another person, whom at that time I defined as a “minusist” - a person with a “negative field” (at that time I called people prone to the occult) - the devices did not show any results at all! One got the impression that different researchers imposed some kind of addition on the same “background”. But I still could not explain why, on the same landings, the same instruments give different readings from different researchers ...

And what happened to the “chronal effect”, which Siegel called the Varlamov effect, in electronic and mechanical watches! When my son and I went to the landing site of Sharapova Okhota, we got a very small, but clearly observed so-called “frequency overrun”: inside the “spot”, the accuracy of the watch increased (by tenths of a percent, but still this value was more natural influences), outside the spot boundaries, fell again. This experiment was repeated several times - and the "frequency run-out" data remained unchanged. And when the researchers went to the “M-sky triangle” near Perm, to the landing site known throughout the country, the author of the book about this phenomenon admitted that his clock had gone ahead by an hour and a half. Then I began to understand something and thought: “You are already so entangled with demons that it is easy for them to act through you and on devices…”

All this was amazing. The general oddity of these observations was the dependence of the results on the personality of the operator (the results could differ several times!). There was bewilderment: why can this happen with objective devices? But when the level of errors dropped to small values, it turned out that in these cases a person influenced them much more! Of course, by itself, it cannot affect the device, but, as I later realized, the demons that swirl around it can change the indicators of devices a little for one, and for the other - to the fullest! And so I doubted the results of such studies, the possibility of objectively using science to investigate the UFO phenomenon - because only around the “saucers” did these absurdities occur with devices that usually worked objectively and without fail.

When I determined that the object itself affects instruments and radars, I began to reason further: why does it act like that? This means that this is not at all a UFO as a spacecraft (in this case, half of the ellipse would be visible from it on the radar), but some other object! Radar observations also convinced me of this, when impossible, absurd things were reflected on the screen - a little earlier I already talked about this effect. As a result of these and many other cases, I realized that I was not researching ships of messengers from other worlds. And although at first I did not think about the spiritual essences of the demonic world, knowing little about them, but the course of my research led to the fact that in 1991 I was baptized, and from that time a turning point began both in my scientific affairs and in my views. .

There was a feeling that all this work was mostly done in vain. The only useful “output” is that everything came down to a simple explanation: these phenomena are from the evil one! This is important, and the rest is unimportant.

Recently, a certain cheat sheet on the Russian language has spread on LJ. I took it from here: http://natalyushko.livejournal.com/533497.html

However, there were errors and inaccuracies.
I corrected what I noticed, plus added information from my notebook and other sources.

Enjoy. =)

Editor's note. Part 1

Commas, punctuation

“In addition” - ALWAYS stands out with commas (both at the beginning and in the middle of a sentence).

“Most likely” in the meaning of “very likely, most likely” - stands out with commas (Of course, all because of the cognac and the steam room, otherwise he would most likely have kept silent.).
In the meaning of "fastest" - NO (This way, most likely, one could come to the house.).

"Quicker". If in the meaning of “better, more willing”, then WITHOUT commas. For example: "She would rather die than betray him." Also WITHOUT commas, if in the meaning of "it's better to say." For example: "pronouncing some remark or rather an exclamation."
BUT! A comma is needed if this is an introductory word expressing the author's assessment of the degree of reliability of this statement in relation to the previous one (in the meaning of "most likely" or "most likely"). For example: "He cannot be called a smart person - rather, he is in his own mind."

“Of course”, “of course” - the word of course is NOT highlighted with commas at the beginning of the response, uttered in a tone of confidence, conviction: Of course it is!
In other cases, a comma is NEEDED.

The expressions “in general”, “in general” are SEPARATED in the meaning of “in short, in a word”, then they are introductory.

“First of all” are isolated as introductory in the meaning of “first of all” (First of all, he is a rather capable person).
These words are NOT highlighted in the meaning of “first, first” (First of all, you need to contact a specialist).
A comma after "a", "but", etc. is NOT needed: "But first of all, I want to say."
When clarifying, the entire turnover is highlighted: “There is hope that these proposals, primarily from the Ministry of Finance, will not be accepted or will be changed.”

"at least", "at least" - are isolated only when inverted: "This issue was discussed twice, at least."

“in turn” - does not stand out with a comma in the meaning of “for its part”, “in response, when the turn has come”. And as introductory are isolated.

“literally” - not introductory, commas are not separated

"Hence". If in the meaning “therefore, thus, it means”, then commas are needed. For example: "So you, therefore, are our neighbors."
BUT! If in the meaning "therefore, because of this, based on the fact that", then the comma is needed only on the left. For example: “I found a job, so we will have more money”; “You are angry, therefore you are wrong”; "You can't bake a cake, so I'll bake it."

"Least". If in the value of "the smallest", then without commas. For example: “At least I will wash the dishes”; "He made at least a dozen mistakes."
BUT! If in the meaning of comparison with something, emotional evaluation, then with a comma. For example: “At a minimum, this approach involves control”, “For this you need, at a minimum, to understand politics.”

“that is, if”, “especially if” - a comma is usually not needed

"That is" is not an introductory word and is not separated by commas on both sides. This is a union, a comma is placed before it (and if in some contexts a comma is placed after it, then for other reasons: for example, to highlight some separate construction or subordinate clause that comes after it).
For example: “It’s still five kilometers to the station, that is, an hour’s walk” (well, a comma is needed), “It’s another five kilometers to the station, that is, if you go slowly, an hour’s walk (a comma after “that is” is placed to highlight the subordinate clause "If you go slowly").

"In any case" are separated by commas as introductory if they are used in the meaning of "at least".

“Besides”, “besides this”, “besides everything (other)”, “besides everything (other)” are separated as introductory.
BUT! "Besides" is a conjunction, a comma is NOT needed. For example: "In addition to the fact that he does nothing, he also makes claims against me."

“Because of this,” “because of that,” “because of that,” and “along with that,” a comma is usually not required. Separation is optional. The presence of a comma is not an error.

"Moreover" - WITHOUT a comma.
“Especially when”, “especially since”, “especially if”, etc. - a comma is needed before "especially". For example: “Such arguments are hardly needed, especially since this is a false statement”, “especially if it means”, “relax, especially since a lot of work awaits you”, “you shouldn’t sit at home, especially if your partner invites to dance."

"Moreover" - is distinguished by a comma only in the middle of the sentence (on the left).

"Nevertheless" - a comma is placed in the middle of the sentence (on the left). For example: "He decided everything, nevertheless I will try to convince him."
BUT! If “but nevertheless”, “if nevertheless”, etc., then commas are NOT needed.

If "however" means "but", then the comma on the right side is NOT put. (An exception is if it is an interjection. For example: “However, what a wind!”)

“In the end” - if in the meaning “in the end”, then the comma is NOT put.

“Really” is NOT separated by commas in the meaning of “really” (that is, if this is a circumstance expressed by an adverb), if it is synonymous with the adjective “valid” - “real, genuine”. For example: “Her bark itself is thin, not like that of oak or pine, which are really not afraid of hot sun rays”; "You are really very tired."

"Really" can act as an introductory and SEPARATE. The introductory word is distinguished by intonational isolation - it expresses the speaker's confidence in the truth of the reported fact. In controversial cases, the issue of punctuation is decided by the author of the text.

“Due to the fact that” - a comma is NOT needed if it is a union, that is, if it can be replaced with “because”. For example: “As a child, he underwent a medical check-up because he fought in Vietnam”, “maybe it’s all because I love it when a person sings” (a comma is needed, because replace “because” with it is forbidden).

"Anyway". A comma is needed if the meaning is "however". Then this is an introduction. For example: "She knew that, one way or another, she would tell Anna everything."
BUT! The adverbial expression "one way or another" (the same as "one way or another" or "in any case") does NOT require punctuation. For example: "War is somehow necessary."

The comma is NOT included
at the beginning of a sentence:
“Before… I was…”
"Since…"
"Before as…"
"Despite the fact that…"
"As…"
"In order to…"
"Instead of…"
“Actually…”
"While…"
"Besides..."
"However…"
“Despite the fact that ...” (at the same time - separately); DO NOT put a comma before "what".
"If…"
"After…"
“And…”

“Finally” in the meaning of “finally” - DOES NOT stand out with commas.

“And this despite the fact that ...” - in the middle of the sentence, a comma is ALWAYS put!

“Based on this, ...” - a comma is placed at the beginning of the sentence. BUT: “He did so on the basis of ...” - the comma is NOT put.

“After all, if ..., then ...” - a comma before “if” is NOT put, since the second part of the double union comes next - “then”. If there is no “then”, then a comma before “if” is put!

“Less than two years…” - a comma before “what” is NOT put, because. this is NOT a comparison.

A comma before "HOW" is placed only in case of comparison.

“Politicians such as Ivanov, Petrov, Sidorov ...” - a comma is placed, because is the noun "politics".
BUT: "...politicians such as Ivanov, Petrov, Sidorov ..." - a comma is NOT put before "as".

Commas are NOT included:
“God forbid”, “God forbid”, “for God's sake” - do not stand out with commas, + the word “God” is written with a small letter.

BUT: commas are placed in two directions:
“Glory to God” in the middle of a sentence is highlighted with commas on both sides (the word “God” in this case is written with a capital letter) + at the beginning of the sentence - is highlighted with a comma (on the right side).
“By God” - in these cases, commas are placed on both sides (the word “god” in this case is written with a small letter).
"My God" - separated by commas on both sides; in the middle of the sentence "God" - with a small letter.

If a introductory word can drop or rearrange to another place in the sentence without violating its structure (usually this happens with the unions “and” and “but”), then the union is not included in the introductory construction - the comma is NEEDED. For example: "Firstly, it became dark, and, secondly, everyone was tired."

If a introductory word remove or rearrange it is forbidden , then the comma after the union (usually with the union "a") is NOT put. For example: “She just forgot about this fact, or maybe she never remembered it”, “..., and therefore ...”, “..., and maybe ...”, “..., which means ...”.

If a introductory word can remove or rearrange, then the comma is NEEDED after the conjunction “a”, since it is not associated with the introductory word, i.e. soldered combinations such as “so”, “but by the way”, “and therefore”, “maybe”, etc. n. For example: "She not only did not love him, but, perhaps, even despised him."

If a at the beginning sentences worth writing union(in an attached meaning) (“and”, “yes” in the meaning of “and”, “also”, “also”, “and that”, “and that”, “yes and”, “and also”, etc.) , and then the introduction, then a comma before it is NOT needed. For example: “And really, you shouldn’t have done this”; “And perhaps it was necessary to do something differently”; “Finally, the action of the play is ordered and divided into acts”; “Besides, other circumstances came to light”; “But of course, everything ended well.”

Rare: if at the beginning offers worth joining union, a the introductory construction is emphasized intonation, then commas are NEEDED. For example: "But, to my great annoyance, Shvabrin decisively announced ..."; "And, as usual, they remembered only one good thing."

Do not confuse with homogeneous members

1. The following stable expressions are NOT homogeneous and therefore are NOT separated by a comma:
neither this nor that;
neither fish nor fowl;
neither stand nor sit down;
no end no edge;
neither light nor dawn;
neither hearing nor spirit;
neither to himself nor to people;
neither sleep nor spirit;
neither here nor there;
for nothing;
neither give nor take;
no answer, no greeting;
neither yours nor ours;
neither subtract nor add;
and so and so;
and day and night;
and laughter and grief;
and cold and hunger;
both old and young;
about this and that;
both;
in both.

(General rule: a comma is not placed inside integral expressions of a phraseological nature, formed by two words with opposite meanings, connected by a repeating union "and" or "neither")

2. NOT separated by a comma:

1) Verbs in the same form, indicating the movement and its purpose.
I'll go for a walk.
Sit down and rest.
Go take a look.
2) Forming semantic unity.
Can't wait.
Let's sit and talk.

3) Pair combinations of a synonymous, antonymous or associative nature.
Search for truth-truth.
There is no end.
Honor to all.
Let's go.
Everything is covered.
It's expensive to see.
Purchase and sale questions.
Meet with bread and salt.
Tie hand and foot.

4) Compound words (interrogative-relative pronouns, adverbs, which are opposed to something).
Someone else, but you can't.
Already somewhere, where, and everything is there.
