I'm usually a law abiding person, but when it comes to writing, I tend to focus on what works well, rather than the rules. Grammar and I are like second cousins twice-removed. We nod at each other as we pass on the street, but hang with our own crowds. :pDanyelle L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10366276085080565870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-300538873170007593.post-8137247530614221112009-08-24T18:43:18.081-05:002009-08-24T18:43:18.081-05:00Halarious!

With pleasure. <br /><br />And as a linguistics major I support the right of the people to break grammar rules as long as they can make themselves understood. <br /><br />But I have some very strong gramatical pet peeves. I find 20, 16, and 13 especially annoying.awidgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05493501464033153589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-300538873170007593.post-19122606104420627762009-08-24T11:02:39.706-05:002009-08-24T11:02:39.706-05:00Ha!

None of them really irk me, except for maybe the ones that say to never use fragments or start a sentence with a conjunction. Those things can actually be used quite effectively in some situations, or at least I think so.<br /><br />Hope all's well on your end! :)<br /><br />JennaJenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12670094635770401053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-300538873170007593.post-14308252856941501552009-08-24T07:59:30.389-05:002009-08-24T07:59:30.389-05:00This was great!This was great!Janna Leadbetterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06339705935553160673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-300538873170007593.post-9689175004520620602009-08-24T07:56:49.710-05:002009-08-24T07:56:49.710-05:00love the badge!
