Grammar Review

I am sure we all have received text messages or short emails where grammar is practically nonexistent. A couple of my friends send one long strand of words in a text message. I love them, but they know how I appreciate a structured sentence. How hard is it to put an apostrophe after you and add re rather than “Ur”?

Some of the points in our chapters were common sense, but I did not know all the technical reasons behind why we do what we do in writing. I really appreciated the section on commas. We use them quite frequently and I learned some helpful tips.

I would have appreciated a section in the book for practicing application. Somewhat like homework except it would be optional and the answers would be provided. I learn best through actually putting things to practice and then seeing if I correctly applied them.

There are numerous styles to write a paper in: Chicago, MLA, APA, and many more I am sure. In chapter 55 of our book it discussed formats and the way to capitalize titles for those particular formats. This information will be helpful when all my professors require a differently styled paper.

Even though most of our assigned reading this week was material we learned at some point in our lives, reviewing it did not hurt.
