If you're troubled by grammar, here's a helping hand
 
I saw this on another site and found it amusingly helpful.

[derail]The OP reminded me of a poster I wish I had bought. It was a diagrammed sentence by the greatest French novelist, Marcel Proust. Proust tended toward verrrry long sentences.

So then I wondered, what exactly was the longest Proust sentence? Voilà.[/derail]

Back on track, I love grammar.

Sometimes, I think I want to read Proust - this is not one of them

Now, if I could only read fast enough to get them, they may help.

There is a new spelling curriculum at the school my children attend that empasizes words that are typically misused. Such as there, their, and they're; your and you're; its and it's; etc, etc, etc. It was only adopted last year, but my 3rd grade son now almost always uses them correctly. It it less a weekly spelling list as it is a writing curriculum that expands the common always-spell-correctly words as their writing becomes more complex. I rather like it.

I apollogize.

Now I'm going to have nightmares about grammar abuse.

SCA- that's great for your kid's school. Those overlapping words are some that drive me crazy when they're used incorrectly. For some reason that is one thing that particularly goads me to craziness.
