Hello everyone,
I don’t know if everyone else is
feeling the way that I do, but school has gotten extremely hard to focus on. It
may be the fact that I now have a beautiful two-week old baby staring at me all
the time, and I try to hold her every chance I get, but that may be just me.
One thing that I have learned from The AP
Stylebook this week is that no matter what I thought I knew about correcting
grammar I should become super comfortable with the always looking up something
so that whatever is written is represented in the best manner that it possibly
can be.
One useful
rule that I kept coming back to with the assignments was how spelling is one of
the most important things to get right or wrong. Especially when quoting
someone. You want to make sure that you do not represent the person in a
negative way or make them seem unintelligent by spelling something incorrectly.
Another rule
that I have probably overlooked for the longest time is hyphenation. So many things
that I have written before needed to be hyphenated and I had no idea. This goes
back again to why it is important to use the Stylebook to make whenever you
need a reference.
And my
editing mistake is below. Stonehenge should be capitalized, I thought everyone
would enjoy this.
