I ...I LOVE how many comments this post generated!!! I would say you are definitely onto something. We all need reminders and the ability to proof-read. I have been proofreading my husband's writing all of our marriage. Because he didn't grow up reading (for pleasure), and came from a bilingual home, he always leaves off the -ed or -s/-es from his verbs! Now he asks me to proof everything he writes. I spent a year teaching remedial English at DeVry several years back. My undergrad was in Liberal Studies and I practically had a minor in English. Teaching was not my gift, however! I look forward to seeing your inner English teacher come out!!!

Even though I know these rules about "it's" and "its" you explained it far better than I did when I was teaching Kiddo about it. : )Heathahleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03526348513736437292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6758915940467026052.post-75733143247684902952010-03-05T23:03:10.247-05:002010-03-05T23:03:10.247-05:00Yes, I think the grammar refreshers are wonderful!...Yes, I think the grammar refreshers are wonderful!<br /><br />Piper<br />piperspen.blogspot.comPiper Green, M.Div., MAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03151501804654133188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6758915940467026052.post-39811462738653886612010-03-05T14:14:42.091-05:002010-03-05T14:14:42.091-05:00Oh my goodness...I love you even more!

We were always properly drilled in such matters, and quickly corrected when using poor grammar. How dare we say...do you have a "pin" I can write with? No, no, no...it is "pen"...pronounce it corrrectly! hahahahahahahaha<br /><br />It was always so bothersome to us as children, but now we truly appreciate it!

My son keeps reminding me that I am no longer in the classroom and that I should not tell him that he used the wrong tense or object of the preposition. Always the teacher, right?

I used to have nervous fits over sentence diagrams. To this day, they give me hives. I think the only reason I wrote A papers in college was because I read so much. Certain punctuation rules are just beyond me, and now that I can write in a stream of consciousness on my blog, I've lost touch with the finer points of writing. ;)Amanda @ Serenity Nowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16483017563206007698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6758915940467026052.post-30403369468604144302010-03-04T14:12:32.044-05:002010-03-04T14:12:32.044-05:00Great lesson!

Doing my best for the Lord without being obsessed about what my best really looks like compared to the next person should be my goal though it is not always in practice. But we can always seek improvement. However, Christians are often viewed as ignorant in today's society. When we use poor grammar we are giving credence to this view, unfortunately. As you may have noticed, punctuation is NOT my thing. Any and all posts on punctuation would be greatly appreciated. :) Thanks again, Richella!Kristihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00805272932024269158noreply@blogger.com
