Editing errors (chapters 55-65)
Until I read these chapters, I didn't realize that there were so many different ways to correctly write a title, all depending upon which format one uses.I have also struggled with pronoun reference, and, as such, often wrote confusing sentences in most of my papers. However, most of my grammar issues weren't mentioned in these chapters. I tend to be repetitive in my writings, using the same adjective or verb over and over again.
On the other side, I'm not one of those people who uses their, they're, and there incorrectly. People have enough time to slow down and use the correct word. The same goes for the people who misuse you're and your. Both of these errors annoy me immensely.
I am not really familiar enough with writing to go into great detail about it, and i probably use grammar incorrectly more times than i would care to admit. I didn't really learn much from these chapters, as I do not learn best by merely reading a few pages.
Learning style is important in any learning situation but it is vital that one learns grammar through a way that is compatible with learning style. Demonstration or working to correct grammar in a paper alongside someone who can help make corrections might be a good approach.
