I think I need to take a grammar class. I wrote an email today that had to be reviewed by our attorney and he informed me that apostrophes are used in the possessive not anytime I want to use them or for every word with an "s" on the end...and there has to be a "neither" to use a "nor" and I have a thing with commas...hmmmm...maybe you have noticed. I wanted to tell him you don't need to use "that" so much...but decided it would be childish. Now I am scared to use a comma...so you will see lots of "..." - JK.
I actually just had to look up how to correctly spell "comma" I didn't want to confuse you with the use of "coma", although this post might put you in one. I enjoy reading and I enjoy writing, but it would be great to take a class on punctuation, although it was never an enjoyable part of school - dissecting sentences. Frankly, I would rather dissect a frog; my hope is I will learn the correct usage for all of these amazing symbols:;",.'./`~-{] ...etc. I also just learned I have been using "then" when I should be using "than"...have you wondered?
I am an American and should really know how to use English correctly. I will look at online classes tomorrow...
I Am Grateful,
HB
