I am not a professional writer. I am not even much of a regular writer, by any means.
I did fairly well in high school English classes, excelled in college language-based classes (English 101 and Technical Writing), and this second time around at college I've received an A in Creative Writing. Boy, did I hate that class... nothing like being forced to write to make one feel uncreative!
You will never see me confuse the use of their/there/they're, nor you're/your. You may occasionally see an improper comma placement. I am not 100% certain I have apostrophes down, but I do know that the word thanks does not need an apostrophe (i.e. thank's... yes, I have seen this done before).
It seems that with the growth of the internet has come the withering of language skills. It's either that or prior to the internet, I had nowhere near the exposure to written material that I do now. Before the internet, what was there? Books, magazines, newspapers... now we have blogs, and access to thousands upon thousands of articles about varying things at the click of a mouse.
If you see a glaring error, please send me a private note and let me know. I will look into it and fix it then. It can only help my writing to learn from others.
