Don't we all have a library full!<br /><br />I was lucky in that I was taught 'proper' grammar at school and have been teaching it for years, but still, different publication houses have their own style guides which may contradict some of these 'rules'. But it is true, many writers struggle with where to put a comma, and they're not alone. I read recently that JD Salinger of Catcher in the Rye fame, once spent a whole day writing. What he'd achieved that day, was the correct placement of a comma!! He thought that was productive. How times have changed...<br /><br />Hope your new year is chugging along well, Chrys. :-)Denise Covey https://www.blogger.com/profile/07106490051555233439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9133489888936435050.post-707830577487616682017-01-09T16:21:59.030-05:002017-01-09T16:21:59.030-05:00I definitely have some grammar sticking points - I...I definitely have some grammar sticking points - I may have to check this one out.Annalisa Crawfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14943610814274794998noreply@blogger.com
