Week 5

I have visited many sites on proper grammar, with a huge influx of sites this year alone.  One site that I have found pretty informational is http://www.chompchomp.com/menu.htm.  The website is actually grammar bytes, but that is the direct url link.  It is a little basic as far as web design goes, however I really like their methods for breaking down terms.  The site shows specific sentence breakdown and highlights what the transitive verb is, if that is what you are researching.  The sentence breakdown on grammar bytes is very similar to what they do in when words collide.  I find that I understand the terms better when I can actually see their proper use in action.  I am a hands on learner so often times I have to read how something works over and over. 

This week my editing mistake was when I left some things at my parent’s house and my dad asked, “did you loose something?”  I had a good laugh and said, “I am loosing my mind, why?”  That was when he told me my sunglasses and hat was on his kitchen table.  I didn’t feel the need to really get after him about it, correcting a 63 year old on grammar seems a bit off book.
