I love this!

This here at http://leedrurydecesarescasting-roomcouch.blogspot.com/2008/02/la-belle-dame-sans-merci-falliero.html both amuses and saddens.

Lee picks and chooses who will be the targets of her vitriolic grammar and punctuation pedantry. She makes no comments about the author's grammar, style and punctuation alternatives although she has condemned others for similar choices. I think Lee is no better than those who cut her off after a three-minute time limit while letting others run over. She rails against their inconsistencies and is just as guilty.

I have corrected the author's comment. Both of you need to see the teacher after class.

I have been reading our your - shoddy proofreading blog for a year , place a comma before a conjunction introducing an independent clause - Strunk and White Rule 4 and I am certain you would give my Principal principal - no capital for this common noun quite an earful. I doubt this person would understand most of it though.

So if I told you the name of this person, and you sent the blistering missive, where would that leave me? This person is vindictive and mean spirited.

I thank you for taking the time to read my original message and will continue to enjoy your blog. Knowing your scrutiny of grammar and punctuation, please be gentle with me. dangling present participial phrase - The sentence is imperative; therefore, the implied subject is "you". The subject is not knowing the scrutiny. Recast as Knowing your scrutiny of grammar and punctuation, I ask you please to be gentle with me. I would hate to be graded on that.

Thanks



My dear, you should not let little, mean people like your principal cramp your spirit. He or she is nothing but a bully.

Your grammar is perfect; ditto punctuation. If you want to see some bad grammar and punctuation from a guy who holds a high position in the publishing world, go to tampabayareagrammargrinch.blogspot.com and read my analysis of the publisher of the SP Times's pitiful grammar and punctuation. It will give you confidence to think better of your skills. lee

Perfect grammar and punctuation? I think not.
