At this point, I’m going to just have to go with what I was taught in 5th grade, for better or worse.

And, of course, whatever MS Word flags down for me..

LOL!

Lani,
I’m with ya on this. My toughest teacher in high school was my English teacher. Everyone dreaded being assigned to her class, and going through what we were sure was going to be one step from death. In the end she was by far THE best teacher I had in high school and probably college. She instilled in us an enormous sense of the importance of writing well. It amazing to me that today, I am still very concious of using proper grammar, spelling, etc. (like I am hearing her words, and I’m getting nervous writing this…HA!)
I know I am far from being an “accomplished” author, but she has sent me out into the world with a confidence in writing that has carried through many writing tasks.

ThankyouThankyouThankyou.

You know, most kids don’t diagram sentences anymore, right?

The sign’s missing you’re/your – one of the most simple but most frequently seen grammatical faux-pas.

Punctuation does not go inside quotation marks if it’s (uh, is it its or it’s, which is it?) a ship’s name. Their, my contribution to the fray, uh, I meant “There,” did I do that right?

oh gawd, “heinousness” would be considered slang, right? So, therefore, it would get quotation marks, correct?

I’m a freak about this stuff, too. What about punctuation always goes inside quotation marks.

If you every see heinousness on my stuff PLEASE let me know!
