This is a board, not a place for the final draft ready for publishing. It is really annoying to see know it alls. being grammar police. I could red pencil almost every other post with some sort of grammar mistakes. You can correct your family. You can correct your students. You can correct your work. It is not your place to come to a forum and show off your knowledge and correct people. Good grief.
Grammar matters! Your words lose power when people can't read what you write. I'm also an author, so I guess it comes with the territory. Just sayin'. :-)
This drives me nuts also!! I spent years making sure my kids wrote well (even when their teachers were too lazy to correct papers) and they (in their 20s) still write well, even in their texts.
Sorry to go all grammar nazi, but run-on sentence much? Nevertheless, love the sentiment.
seriously? We aren't in school. This board is about information. Not grammar school.
Grammar isn’t just for grammar school. Information is good when it’s understandable.

Just trying to help you not look ignorant.

Go on you. It shows respect for the reader when you take the time to craft your words into writing.
Yes! Thank you! A writer should always put their reader first.
I like you, horsey! :-)
