Happy Valentine's Day!
It is no secret, that I LOVE books! I must confess, that I have not read "Fifty Shades of Grey".
I know...It's a cataclysmic FAIL!
It's hard to not hear how popular and wonderful this book is; but, between homeschooling and ranching, my free time to read my "for me" books, is very limited!
I love all genres of writing. I love reading the classics a lot! It is always interesting to me how much language has changed. This holds true for grammar as well.
Homeschooling my two boys, I have found myself second guessing my high school & college education in writing. I am constantly looking up what I think is grammatically incorrect, to verify that I'm right, or find out I was completely wrong. Not to mention, punctuation mistakes my children make in their writing, and making sure what I know, is still accurate. I think we all get complacent, and have bad habits.
Don't judge my punctuation and grammar now... I definitely have bad habits! I'm comma happy, among many other things.
So, it is always nice to have a "one stop shop" for learning in grammar. We love Grammarly and I sure like when Nikolas Baron writes to show me the latest and greatest at Grammarly.
I hope you enjoy the infographic from Grammarly, it really is interesting.
Be sure and check out Grammarly. They are a resource that is invaluable for our homeschool, and in my opinion, all writers.
ENJOY!
Hi Jennifer,
I hope this email finds you well! We've exchanged emails about Grammarly's content in the past, so I wanted to reach out to you with some new research that may be right up your alley.
Although it topped bestseller lists around the world, E. L. James’ erotic romance novel, Fifty Shades of Grey, was widely panned by critics for its poor use of language.
The Grammarly team reviewed the book for spelling, grammar, and punctuation errors, and learned that -- although there were some mistakes -- the errors were in alignment with similar gaffes in celebrated romances. It seems that the language of love really is a language of its own!
Happy Valentine's Day!
Nick
Have a Happy Valentine's Day & Happy Writing!
