In Paragraphs^x, Grammar^x, Commas^x

Hello Friends, I need to know, for what reason, a comma was left out of this title: Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels . I was viewing the plot description on the website IMDB, and could not help to wonder why a comma wasn't placed in the title of the movie after the word Stock . I do not...

I think your paragraph is pretty good. There are a few touches that could improve it, though. In the first sentence, I would suggest a dash instead of a comma--suggesting an added on thought to reinforce the first one. Also in that sentence "they are" should be "he or she...

Hi Maple, Are you sure you mean "sentences"? That looks to me like one wallyloobirdpippin of a single sentence! Are Chinese materia medica medicinal herbs or the collected wisdom of the ages re stomach pain? By "sieving" are you speaking figuratively about going...

Hi, The first thing I notice is that you have very big problems with run-on sentences. That means you are joining sentences just by using a comma. Thats not correct grammar. You shouldn't do that. Please try to go through and split your writing up into shorter sentences. I've...

Hello: I am new to the site (was led here by a search engine) and am surprised to see a number of grammatical errors in and around the site in general. I haven't looked everywhere, but below you will find a list of the ones that I noticed right off the bat: The site mistakenly uses, in...

Hi, This works very well, except: and to emphasize the presence of a non-literal, rather than a literal, meaning. This is not wrong. It's (a) a correct statement about the poem, and (b) a grammatically good sentence (but you should get rid of the comma after non-literal). It's not what I...

Hi. From the perspective of a non-native speaker who's used to translate a lot (between German and English), I have a few things to add: While "somehow" and "barely" are not equivalents, neither semantic nor pragmatic, there are situations where cultural differences might make them look similar....

You have many, many grammar errors, but you are speaking and not writing, correct? Don't use words like "gonna" when you are giving a formal speech, even if it's on an informal subject. Don't assume your audience knows what Counter Strike is. I've never heard of it - perhaps your teacher...

You have problems with determiners, plurals, verb tenses, prepositions and general grammatical structure. I've corrected the first paragraph for you and highlighed problems in the second. In the second paragraph you have started inserting a space before commas, which is incorrect. The...
