A Twixy question

I tried to find out some other information on Twix, but the internet isn't my friend tonight. So what I could find out was that Twix has a pretty good sized ingredient list. I would type it, but I'm lazy and will copy and past for now. The ingredients are:
Milk Chocolate (Sugar, Cocoa Butter, Milk Ingredients, Cocoa Mass, Lactose, Soy Lecithin, Polyglycerol Polyricinoleate, Artificial Flavour), Enriched Flour (Flour, Niacin, Reduced Iron, Thiamine Mononitrate, Riboflavin, Folic Acid), Sugar, Hydrolyzed Palm and Palm Kernel Oil, Corn Syrup, Milk Ingredients, Dextrose, Salt, Cocoa Mass, Sodium Bicarbonate, Soy Lecithin, Soybean Oil, Artificial Flavour.

And there you have it. I did find out something interesting that I bet few know: Twix used to be called Raider.

Dashes

Dashes have several uses in English. When used, they can replace commas, semicolons, parentheses, or a few other items. Sometimes, they are used because there is a bit bigger of an explanation than what one would use commas for.
The BMRD- the big mother rubber duck entered into a French art contest- is bigger than an elephant.
Further explanation is found by clicking on the words between the above dashes.

Maintaining Focus

Focus, in writing, is basically staying on course and greatly limiting the amount of extra material within a paper. Basically, focus = thesis. As a writer, you will wish to mention only the things in your paper that will be mentioned in your thesis. If a subject is taken out of your paper, that subject needs to be removed from the thesis. Also, if a subject is added to your paper, then it needs to be added to your thesis. Remember, one can always edit their thesis.
To maintain focus while writing, the writer can set their own deadlines for each step of their paper. An example of this is to have all of your research gathered one day, perhaps a few days later be able to summarize what is in each source, a few days later finish the rough draft, and finally, have the final due at least two days before it is due. Individuals can prevent procrastination and frustration by following a similar deadline schedule.

Elements of Gaians

Gaians, or users of gaiaonline, are usually people who are in the college years, and younger teens. The Gaians can create avatars with which they interact with their fellow Gaians.

Profiles are used by Gaians to get a better idea of the person's personality behind the avatar. Most Gaians do use profiles. An almost infinate number of profiles are available, and even those are very customizable.

Gaians have a MMORPG available for them to play on the website. Many kill a lot of time here and are admired on the main site for their accomplishments within the game. In the game they battle animated objects, the animated, with rings that give them "super powers". The rings can be taken off and switched with new ones they encounter in the game.

Phrasal verbs

Phrasal verbs are verbs that have their meaning changed just by the addition of a preposition or adverb. The verb "cut" can easily be defined as a separation of an object (i.e. marshmallow, group).
However, when we say "cut in" we can be saying interrupt, turning on a device, or even when a car slips right in front of another vehicle causing a disruption in the flow of traffic.

The lover cut in on the dance of the couple.

A huge list and a short definition is found on the example.

Possible Ethnographic changes

If I were to change my ethnographic essay (not saying that I will or not), what are some suggestions for the change?

Ethnographic: gaiaonline.com

This is a website where people go for more than a hang out and chat website, but it has its RPG for its users. The new users do speak and act much differently than the rest of the group.
Questions that I already have formulated when I interview someone on the site:
1. How much time do you spend on MMORPG's?
2. Why do you play RPG's?
3. What is the benefits of this?
4. What are the people like?
5. Is spending time playing these games a waste of time or not? Why?
6. How would you describe the site?
7. Why do you use this site as opposed to others?
8. What do you do in real life?
9. Do you have more friends online or in real life?
10. How many people on the site do you know in real life?
11. What is the game like?
12. How do they see each other?

The picture I have included is an example of the type of avatars they use. There is almost an infinite number of different avatars the players can make.

Colons (not from your intestines)

Punctuation colons, quite different from the colon found on the end of your intestines, is used when giving lists, quotes, or delivering appositives. It has been said that the colon is a promise, and whatever comes after the colon is the delivering of the promise. I sometimes have a problem with colons since I can't always decide to use a colon, or just commas. Colons should never separate verbs from their objects as doing this will cause the reader much confusion. A nice little web page for several examples of colons can be found on the picture of the colon.
