Everyone Needs a Little Grammar Help From Time to Time


It's true. We all need help from time to time with our grammar. I go back to my trusty Harbrace College Handbook at least once a day to check on the proper placement of a comma or to see if a word or words should be capitalized, italicized, or surrounded with quotation marks. My education is in writing and editing, so you'd think that would be unnecessary. But I don't mind admitting I'm still learning.

That's why I love Grammar Girl: Quick and Dirty Tips for Better Writing. I stumbled upon this site the other day, while researching some transcription. There are lots of helpful hints on punctuation, style, and proper business form, and even some memory tricks to help you remember those tricky rules of grammar. Have a look!
