Week 4

Prior to writing this post I preceded to study and read the topical guide as instructed in weekly outline. After completing the instructions of reading through the topical guide, I proceeded to write my blog post for the week.

Precede and proceed are two words people may easily confuse. To help remember; pre means before. Pre-workout, premixes, prehistoric, or prequel, are a few examples of words with pre. Pre- is before whereas pro- is to move forward, come after, or advance. Examples: Produce, procure, or procreate.

I preceded to study prior to this post and after proceeded to produce the post after studying for this blog post. 

I’m not fond of calling people out but I do find plenty of errors while skimming through my Facebook feed. Most I typically have a few repeat offenders, and then I occasionally get lucky with some irony. Of course, you could go onto Reddit or somewhere else to find a vast world of grammar errors. 

Some of my repeat offenders are close friends or family, who, my wife and I have given up or refrain from correcting. We’ve found some people are content in their ignorance and we simply move on. Of course, we’re not perfect either but there some basics if people would adhere to them, it would profoundly improve their writing. 

Some of these basics are: There, they’re and their; aw and awe; to, too and two; your and you’re; its and it’s; and are, our and hour.
