It’s time once again to review those nasty errors that damage our credibility when we write. Not normally a fun task, but absolutely necessary. I promise to keep you amused to diminish the pain (or at least I’ll give it a shot).

As with the last time we explored grammatical errors, I feel compelled to mention that copywriting and blogging should be conversational and engaging, and breaking formal grammatical and spelling conventions can often be a good thing. Every time I see a comment complaining about something like, oh, I don’t know… the improper use of an ellipsis or one-sentence paragraphs, I shake my head with sadness.

Students’ relationship with grammar is often a mixed experience.  Sometimes, students believe that grammar isn’t as important as expression. Students may also believe that if they’re bad grammarians, then they’re bad writers. Other times, students may have been taught that writing is only a matter of grammar, and so they might neglect issues of style and content ideas to focus on comma rules.
