I had a different post in mind today, but I just had to get this out there. I have already apologized numerous times for my grammatical errors, but some people commenting don't seem to remember those apologies.
I misspell words, put the wrong word down and sometimes I really don't know the rule or I don't know that I made an error. You have to forgive me I didn't go to school when they were teaching grammar. I learned my grammar and spelling through reading, so I don't know the difference between a hanging participle and well anything. I don't know how to punctuate, so I do it by sound, but you know that isn't always correct. Spelling is atrocious thank god for spell check, but even then if you have the a word spelled correctly it won't pick up that error if it is the wrong word.
So blame my parents for not sending me to third grade, if I had gone to third grade I am sure that my grammar would be perfect.

ReplyDeleteI always suggest reading it to yourself OUT LOAD & you'll catch many of the errors (you won't get the there/their/they're but spell check may not either).
ReplyDeleteYour writing is pretty darn interesting - way better than the business writing of TSH
Are you worried that "Big Donna" is watching over your shoulder & catching your grammar/spell errors? If you're reading this "Big D", chime in!
