Sometimes, the reprimands hurt.
But then what can I do?; English is not my mother tongue. I do commit grammar mistakes without ever knowing!
I totally depend on the built in spelling grammar check in MS word. Now I have found out a web site to fall back upon and it is called 'Grammar Girl'. It is actually a blog.
My first impression was relief(very selfish). I found extremely interesting topics and explanations there such as 'affect' vs 'effect' and 'between' vs 'among' and so on.
Read this explanation for 'affect' vs 'effect':
"The majority of the time you use affect with an a as a verb and effect with an e as a noun".
Very simple but never thought of it. Does it apply to you too?
Wait gentle man, there are more, much more in this blog than I can give excerpts here.
Share it with as many people as possible.
