Which is the correct form: 1940s or 1940's when writing about the decade?
I have noticed that recently punctuation is disappearing. People seem to be dispensing with the apostrophe when writing about a decade. I was taught to use the apostrophe, but everywhere (even in prestigious websites) I am now seeing the decade written as: 1970s or 1930s, etc. I am writing a book and I want to use the correct spelling. Is 1940s correct or 1940's? Also, I see the periods disappearing when using periods in dates that utilize abbreviations such as: Common Era, Before Common Era, and “anno Domini.” In other words, I see CE, BCE, and AD, when I was taught to write these as: C.E., B.C.E., and A.D. Period or no period, that is my second question. Please provide references for your answers. Thanks.

Which one is the correct writing: two (2) or 2 (two)?
This is not a question of grammar but of style. You don't need to put anything in parentheses in a normal context, but in certain contexts, such as the text of a statute or legal contract, comfirmatory text in parentheses is common, not just numerals but much else. In particular, amounts of money are frequently spelled out, even if it takes many words, and the summary in numerals placed in parentheses following, or the reverse, with the style within the document controlling what to do in all caseswords first (numerals later in parentheses)numerals first (words later in parentheses)words onlynumerals onlyIn no case does grammar determine what to do, but rather the convention adopted by the signatories to the contract or drafters of the law, or regulations to a sports league, or similar context.

Which is grammatically correct: “I am writing” or “I write”?
“I am writing” gives the stronger impression that you are writing something right now.“I write” in many contexts gives the impression that you are currently a person who writes and has written habitually in the past.There are also contexts in which the two are interchangeable.To summarize: without more information about the context, I can’t be sure that my response is at all helpful.
Is this writing grammatically correct and proper?
Actually something else that would make it grammatically correct would be if you put single quotation marks (') around the password. Any time you're referencing something somebody said, typed, read, etc (I'm sure there's a name for it in English syntax) you should isolate it with single quotes.In written English, double quotes denote something that's something other than what is said, ie; Politicians routinely tell "truths".Interestingly in a lot of books and novel published in English it can be the reverse. Single quotes are used where a character is speaking and double quotes are used for the password example above.How a lot of books would then denote the password in the above example would be to make it bold or italicised.
Which one is correct, ‘I write with a pen’, ‘I write by pen,’ or ‘I write in a pen’?
Oh, languages, you are so nice, oh, fantasies, let’s play some dice!While others clearly answered that “I write with a pen” is correct, I’d like to thank you for indicating the option “I write in a pen”, which made me smile and then switched my imagination on. This “wrong phrase” painted vivid surreal, absolutely fantastic and pleasantly childish pictures in my head. It just proves that every language is flexible and even a linguistic mistake can turn into a witty literary device.I imagined a writer who, under some eerie circumstances, got smaller and smaller like Alice in Wonderland just to find a miniature version of herself standing on her desk and looking into a colossal Pen. Suddenly, she saw the pen had the ornamental Door she could easily enter. After opening this door, the girl couldn’t believe her eyes: a beautiful town with castles and colorful houses revealed itself. In the center of the town square, a quaint mechanism stood: a fountain made of silver and gold letters, and instead of pouring water into its basin, it generously spilled colorful Ink…You can imagine whatever story you want, but I would end it joyfully with several rhymes for children’s minds; something like this:All writers who dream always find magic nooks,it’s easy for them to reside in good books,and even inside their pens!(Don’t tell me it’s absurd, again!)She lives in a tiny old house,so small that it catches no mouse,and when clocks in the town all strike 10,rest assured that she writes in her Pen:Lilliputian things also have their kings! ;)My fantasies also reminded me of a fairy-tale I loved reading in childhood: The Town in the Snuff Box by Vladimir Odoyevsky.
