Week 3


The ten secrets to good writing are helpful for this class. If I were to choose an 11th secret it would be: to minimize the amount of time on social media. The amount of time that we spend in front of social media is familiarizing ourselves with improper grammar and writing skills. It is important to focus on what we can do to become good at writing, however, I feel it is just as important to simply prevent bad writing. The more we see it, hear it, like it, or share it, the more we will have a tendency to use that grammar. Though this secret seems silly in the world today, it would help with improved writing. Not using Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Snap Chat would lesson our exposure to improper grammar. Not seeing as much improper grammar would help our own writing to become better.


I saw this spelling error in messaging.  'Your' should be you're. 


Another error I saw this week was this post made on Friday.
 Clearfield should be capitalized because it is a city. This last error that I found this week, was from looking at fridges on KSL Classifieds.
To correct this grammar mistake, there should be a period placed after 'anymore.' I would also capitalized 'It's.'  The final change I would make is to put a period after the word 'great.'

  1. That is a good point on trying to avoid situations that are prone to grammatical errors. It is easy to forget the correct way to do things in this technological world of abbreviations.
