This thread is for those who want to improve their writing. The rule is each time you reply to a person, quote the person with the CORRECT way of writing so they can see the different.

Put the correction in the quote. You can highlight it if you want. I'm trying to keep this thread fun and casual so people will keep posting.

I hope this thread will not flop.

What a great idea! I like this thread a lot! I make a lot of dumb grammar mistakes! Most of them are spelling though.

What is the name of your book?

**Bottesini** · 05-20-2010, 06:47 PM

I hope it doesn't flop too! Grammar is not my strong point. I am only a spelling fanatic.

Here's something:

"...to boldly go where no man has gone before."

***naisho*** · 05-21-2010, 09:40 AM

^ Sounds like a well known quote, needs no fixing. "If it ain't broke dont' fix it"*

Someone get this show on the road! Master Bottesini awaits prospective writers with great anticipation.

* not my words

It's a split infinitive.

Ain't is not a word.

(You need to add a period at the end of your sentence.)

Yep, "ain't" is not an officially recognized word within the English language. But it is still majorly used across the USA hands down, without any doubts. Even "Yep" is too.
How would you suggest, if given the opportunity, that they [linguistic professions] address the issue?

I'm not exactly getting how this works?

When I'm writing I never know when to use a comma, I wonder if I've got it right here ? Kevin.
