Week 5, Derrek Ballard

This week was hard for me because I've never been able to grasp when to use "whom" rather than "who."  Hopefully I get the hang of it before the test next week!

My favorite grammar site is http://www.grammarbook.com.  This website defines terms in a way I can understand them and gives really good examples of each term.  The website also offers free online quizzes to help me recognized what I've learned and what I should review again.

The editing mistake I found this week was, again, on my Facebook feed.


I don't even know where to begin on this.  First of all, there shouldn't be a comma after "past" because it's not a complete sentence.  Second, she used the wrong form of "your."  Third, she spelled "decisions" incorrectly.  Fourth, she also used the wrong form of "for."  Finally, there's no punctuation to end the sentence.

And to think this is inked on her arm for the rest of her life!

  1. So, I had to ask myself, do they really know how bad it is? It's probably there forever.....Great catch, thanks for adding humor to the post!
