Semester underway–one good post deserves reposting

Or something like that. What I mean is that as I’m updating links for my composition classes, I re-discovered last year’s CNN story about Grammar Girl podcasts.

Her recent commentaries include a number of issues I see students stumble over weekly, such as “who vs. that,” “effect vs. affect” and even the dreaded “generic singular pronouns”–where she and I do not quite see eye to eye. But she still has some advice worth considering.

Looking forward to a Spring of improved writing.

    Hey, I haven’t seen Grammar Girl yet! Thanks for the link! I may have to direct my AP kids in this direction; they need it!
