I was reading an article about recent oil prices and came across this line - having forgotten what day tomorrow is - and was momentarily stunned:

Quote:

Most financial markets in the U.S. and many other countries will be closed for good Friday.

Of course, it was actually a capital "g"...

I believe you mean a "capital" G, as a "capitol" G is... well, nothing.

Woops, it's been a loooong day.

Fixed that...

The other way the sentence should read is: "Friday, most financial markets in the U.S. and many other countries will be closed for good."

but, it's really the comma that changes the meaning...
