Do you feel your grammar/punctuation/spelling skills dwindling?
For me, that answer is a definite YES.
I just can't remember when to use what.
So to cover my bases, I just slap things in any old place.
A self-made punctuation system if you will...
Perhaps, you too, are familiar with:
the double hyphen (--a necessity to help break up your thoughts)
the three periods (...not only for those times to be continued...)
the double question mark (cuz when is one question mark ever enough??)
the question mark-exclamation point (say what?!?!)
Am I all alone here??
Is my comma usage drivin' you up a wall??
Or do you agree??
All I know is I'd like to have better grammar--but until then, at least I have my back-up...
Hehehe. Are you trying to tell me something? Jk that lingo works for me!
ReplyDeletehaha, I do all of those-- they seem to make sense... :-)
ReplyDeleteOh, man, don't even get me started. As a professional editor who is grateful every time I read something that has been well-written and well-edited, this is a red-hot area. I will refrain from using my soapbox.
ReplyDeleteJust know that 's means it owns something. So you don't eat raspberry's, unless your eating the raspberry's seeds. They own them. And your is possessive. You're is a contraction, but not labor.
