When I read chapters 55-65 it really opened my eyes on how difficult our language really is and how many grammar errors I really make. A lot of the information I read about is very helpful to me. When I write I often use commas and punctuations incorrectly, but these chapters are helping correct those things. I usually don't use semicolons or exclamation points just because I am not used to using them. however they can help break apart a run-on sentence. I personally am very bad at writing in general and use very poor grammar, but with the help of these chapters I aim to hone these skills fam. The thing I hate the most about writers is when they mess up the use of the words "there," "their," and "they're." These chapters helped rejuvenate my memory on all the things I have been taught since elementary school. I strive to keep working on improving my grammar skills and using punctuation more often.
I don't know how I ever got along without the semi-colon; it helps me so much to connect thoughts together when they are their own sentences.
