At the beginning of school I received an IEP (special ed document) where "lose" was spelled "loose" every single time. I wanted to point it out, but I didn't.

Maybe you can do a post on that, too if you haven't already. It drives me nuts when they mean quiet and they use quite or the other way around.Kim @ Savvy Southern Stylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12493624262438266840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6758915940467026052.post-30792264337111722502011-09-15T19:54:09.441-04:002011-09-15T19:54:09.441-04:00I passed the test! =) I used to love English cla...I passed the test! =) I used to love English class growing up. Now I'm in PR so we have to have a strong handle on the English language - an art I fear is being lost on our younger generations.<br /><br />JeanineOkio B Designshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14255860793173339175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6758915940467026052.post-82914136841276122932011-09-15T18:40:37.633-04:002011-09-15T18:40:37.633-04:00Luckily, I've been using those words correctly...Luckily, I've been using those words correctly. My mom majored in English in college and was the the editor of her college yearbook. So, you can just imagine that my grammar was corrected many times, while growing up. However, please don't judge my writing skills on my blog. I probably take too many shortcuts on that.

I would love to be a better writer, speller and know the ins and outs of nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, punctuation.<br />Thank you! :)corriemaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01191036214112896237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6758915940467026052.post-87601224486635448432011-09-15T16:17:18.340-04:002011-09-15T16:17:18.340-04:00I would love it if you would give a lesson on usin...I would love it if you would give a lesson on using "I" and "me". One of my biggest pet peeves is hearing people use "I" when it should be "me". There's such an easy way to determine which is correct yet people can't seem to get it right. Also, I would benefit from lesson on when to use "was" and "were". I can't recall the rules for using these two words.

I would love a little lesson on where the word came from and how and when it's appropriate to use it:)Kelli Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07865834655887862155noreply@blogger.com
