INPUT ARTICLE: Article: With any closing, you'll usually include a comma directly after it. If it's something emphatic, you can use an exclamation point instead. For instance, you would write your closing like one of the following examples:  Love, Stay safe, Affectionately, Stay as you are! Leave a blank line between the closing and your signature. Since you're sending it to a friend, just your first name is usually fine for a signature. You can also use a nickname if the person usually calls you by it. Postscripts, indicated by a "P.S" after your signature, were originally a way to include something in a handwritten letter that you'd forgotten. You can't just go back and add something because there's no space. However, they're even used in typed letters and emails nowadays, as a way to add a little fact or fun directive.  For example, you might write, "P.S. You'd better write me back goofball!" if your friend isn't great about sending mail back. Alternatively, you could try, "P.S. I hope this letter gets there before I do!"

SUMMARY: Use a comma after your closing. Sign your name after skipping a line. Add a postscript if you forgot something in your letter.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Silicone gel sheets have been shown to be very effective in healing scars quickly. These can be purchased over-the-counter from a local pharmacy. Follow the instructions on the box to apply them to your scar.  In most cases, silicone gel sheets should be left on the site of the scar for 12 hours or more. You’ll have to reapply another sheet the following day. Healing time will vary from person to person. You may see your scar reduced in days, weeks, or months. Vaseline (petroleum jelly) has the effect of moisturizing skin and scars. Moisture on skin will increase skin growth and regeneration. This may, in some circumstances, decrease the appearance of scars and help them heal quickly. By applying sunscreen, you’ll help reduce the chance of red or brown discoloration occurring around the cut or scar. In addition, sunscreen will protect the skin, keep it moist and promote new skin growth.  Rely on a broad-spectrum sunscreen of 30 SPF or higher. You should continue to apply sunscreen for several weeks. If you have dermatological issues, you may want to consult your dermatologist. Talk to your doctor about getting corticosteroid injections. By injecting corticosteroids into the site of a scar, you may be able to heal it or reduce its appearance.  Steroids undermine the bonds of collagen fibers in your skin, which will help break down scar tissue. Once the scar tissue is broken down, new skin will grow in its place. Aloe vera is widely believed to help heal cuts and scars. By applying aloe vera to your scar, you’ll promote quick healing. To use aloe vera, simply take some and rub it on your wound or scar. Apply it up to three times a day to help it heal quickly.

SUMMARY: Apply silicone gel sheets. Use Vaseline. Put sunscreen on the scar. Use corticosteroid injections. Apply aloe vera.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: For many women, fibroids will not cause any symptoms. Fibroids are often discovered during a routine pelvic exam. Unfortunately, in women who do experience fibroid symptoms, these can be painful. Symptoms of uterine fibroids include:  Heavy bleeding and painful periods Feeling of fullness or pressure in the pelvic area Swelling of the lower abdomen Frequent urination Pain during intercourse Pain in the lower back Complications during pregnancy Reproductive problems, including infertility (which is extremely rare) If you are experiencing some or all of these symptoms, you should consult a physician. Visit your regular doctor or see a gynecologist. Before your visit:  Make a list of your symptoms. Include anything that is bothering you, even if you’re not sure it’s related. Make a list of any medications and supplements you take. Write down your dosages. Take something to write on. You may want to note important information during your visit. If possible, ask a friend or family member to go with you. In order to diagnose uterine fibroids, your doctor will need to perform some tests. Most larger fibroids can be diagnosed with a pelvic exam, while some blood tests (such as complete blood count) can help to rule out other conditions. Ultrasounds and MRI are sometimes performed, but not always. Hysterosonography (uterine sonogram) and hysteroscopy (uterine scope) are pretty rare, but may be used to diagnose fibroids that are small or difficult to feel during a routine exam. If you are diagnosed with uterine fibroids, make sure that you fully understand what is going on with your body. Talk to your doctor so that you understand your options for treatment. You might ask:  ”How many fibroids do I have?” ”How big are my fibroids?” ”Where are my fibroids located?” (They could be on the outer surface, the inner surface, or in the uterine wall.) ”Do you think my fibroids will continue to grow?” and “How will I know if they grow larger?” ”What health problems can my fibroids cause?” ”Should I have regular tests to monitor my fibroids?” and if so, “What tests?” ”What are my treatment options?” ”What is your recommended treatment plan?”

SUMMARY: Recognize symptoms of fibroids. Make an appointment with your doctor. Undergo some tests. Ask questions to understand your condition and treatment options.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Much like Windows, Linux has support for four-digit codes that call special symbols. To access the code input, place your cursor where you want the dash and press Ctrl+⇧ Shift+U. You will see an underlined “u” appear. Enter the code you need and the symbol will appear.  To create an en dash, press 2013 and then press ↵ Enter. To create an em dash, press 2014 and then press ↵ Enter. If your keyboard doesn't have a dedicated Compose key, you can assign a key on your keyboard to become the ⎄ Compose key, which will allow you to quickly create symbols. You should pick a key that you don’t typically use.  To map the ⎄ Compose key, open your Settings in Linux, and then select Keyboard Layout. Click Options and then assign a key on your keyboard to be the ⎄ Compose key. To create an en dash, press ⎄ Compose and then --. To create an em dash, press ⎄ Compose and then ---

SUMMARY:
Use codes to create dashes. Use the Compose key.
