Week 2 with Editing Mistake

One of the grammar rules I learned this week is the rule involving conjunctive adverbs – nevertheless, therefore, and however. I learned that these always need to be preceded by a semicolon. This is new information to me; therefore, from now on I will use it correctly, or at least try to. The way I thought of to remember this is a little abstract, but work with me here. So semi- means half, yes? If you look at the conjunctive adverbs (however, therefore, and nevertheless) you can break them in half or in pieces and still have legitimate words. So, if you have the words therefore, however, and nevertheless, you can think about how the words can be broken in half, half is semi-, I need a semicolon. Voila. Also keep in mind that it should be followed by a comma. So before and after a conjunctive adverb you should remember that you need to follow rules. A semicolon before and a comma after. Example : I am done; therefore, I will stop typing.

This is my editing mistake for the week. This is in the supervisors’ management tool at my work, where I can double check that all of the supervisors have completed all of the steps they need to do. One of the trainings they need to do is called “Supervisor Harassment Training” instead of Supervisor ANTI-Harassment Training. We do not want any harassment going on! Especially from the supervisors!
