Some Basic Punctuation and Grammar Advice

Most readers of this blog are probably familiar with basic grammar and punctuation rules, but it doesn't hurt to review them occasionally. The title of the page,  How Good Grammar Saves Lives and Other Reasons It’s Still Important, is a bit hyperbolic but it does contain much good advice. 

The page is divided into the following sections:

  • The 5 Most Dangerous Grammar Mistakes
  • The Repercussions of Bad Spelling
  • Why Grammar Is Still Important
  • 6 Steps To Improving Your Grammar
  • Grammar Can Save Your Life — Use It Wisely
Most sections are divided into several subsections, and there are lots of examples that clearly show what to do and not to do. 

It's a good page to bookmark and pass along to people who may be struggling with the vagaries of the English language. My only complaint is that most of the advice deals with punctuation and spelling, not grammar.
