Things to avoid: Not capitalizing the first letter of a sentence. Not capitalizing "I" when talking about yourself. Not capitalizing the first letter(s) of proper nouns. Misspelling words; the red squiggly line means something. Confusing homophones,e.g, "to","too",and "two"; "there","their", and "they're". Misuse of commas. They go before conjunctions, at the end of a quote, to make a list; e.g "one, two, and three."; to clarify something; e.g " Bob, the janitor,"; or to show a break in a sentence. Misuse of words to sound smart; the best way to sound smart is to express the biggest concepts using the fewest and shortest words. Constant use of "lol". Using shorthand like "y", "u", and "plz". Thanks for reading. #Post#: 4760-------------------------------------------------- Re: Basic GRAMMAR By: Froggy Date: February 19, 2013, 1:10 pm --------------------------------------------------------- My ipod won't let me use bad grammar. #Post#: 4771-------------------------------------------------- Re: Basic GRAMMAR By: Darwin Date: February 19, 2013, 2:11 pm --------------------------------------------------------- Shouldn't "I" always be capitalized? #Post#: 4780-------------------------------------------------- Re: Basic GRAMMAR By: Extinct Date: February 19, 2013, 2:58 pm --------------------------------------------------------- [quote author=Darwin link=topic=808.msg4771#msg4771 date=1361304684] Shouldn't "I" always be capitalized?
