In Punctuation^x, Grammar^x

Hi Yohooo, The whole point of blogging is to write in your own words-- a blog is your internet diary. I could correct some of your grammar and punctuation, of course, but then it would no longer be your personal communication with the internet world. What you have written is well-told and...

Here are some grammar, punctuation and spelling corrections for you. You may feel they are a little "strict". However, written and spoken English are necessarily a little different, since the "writer" is not there to explain what he means ...more detail is needed as well as separating the writing...

I am not sure that this is the place to post this, but I am looking for help in preparing for some tests. I know they will involve alphabetizing names and addresses, as well as grammar and punctuation, and probably spelling. I consider myself fairly educated, but I know I can be tripped up, so I...
