My high school English teacher wrote in one of my Report Cards -- "AL has an apparent mental block to English grammar". At my advanced age I have the desire to write blogs and short stories. However, I am terrified of my grammar skills. Can someone please recommend a grammar checker, or an online site that can help.

Thanks,

Terrified AL.

Hi Al,

You obviously had a teacher who didn't believe much in giving encouragement.

What I think is this. The hell with the person who wrote that. If you are at an age when you want to do it and you think you have something to say, just relax, go ahead and do it. If good grammar were a prerequisite to writing a blog, most of them would immediately disappear.

If you want us to review a paragraph here and there for you, we'd be happy to try to help. Just post it, in the Writing Section of the Forum. I don't know much about grammar checkers. I'd guess that the one that comes with MSWord is probably as good as any.

Good luck, have fun!

There is no quick way round this apart from practice and courage! Don't worry about making a few errors. People will probably still understand what you are trying to communicate.
