I'm watching One Tree Hill, season 4. Am I the only one who thinks it's hilarious when Brooke and Peyton fight. Am I also the only one who never cared about the Brucas/Leyton debate? I was totally Team Glucas. Or better yet, Laley. I'm a little anal about grammar. I really don't mean to be mean. Just bear with me and let me be my weird self. Tips 1. Run a spell check before you post. 2. Learn the difference between homophones. Too/to, you're/your, there/their/they're all may sound the same but they have completely different meanings. 3. Use apostrophes. Im isn't a word. Whats isn't a word. You don't even have to press the shift key to get an apostrophe. 4. Learn how to properly space. It's one space after a comma, two after a period. 5. You have to have punctuation inside the dialog quotation marks. I said, "You have to have punctuation inside dialog quotation marks." 6. You have to punctuate the end of every sentence. A comma does not end a sentence. 7. Real people are not to be used. It's weird. I understand about fantasies but those are some you should keep to yourself. 8. "R", "u", and "2"are not words. Don't use them in a story ever. 9. I alone or in a contraction is always capitalized no matter where it is in a sentence. "I'm not going to tell you what I am doing later." 10. Separate your dialog. It's so hard to read when it's in one big clump. | |||||||
