When Is "A" Versus "An" Used? Motivating Examples Find any grammar or usage errors in the following text: "In my heart and my head it makes absolute good sense, logical sense, that if big, violent offenders are out of circulation then they will not be committing those crimes. We are making our very best effort to ensure Virginians are safe." Roanoke Times, 15 Sep. 94 Identify the single most important error in the following text: "I think that the solutions along these lines just lie in the capacity of prisons, but if the judicial system has the idea of redefining crime, because that's putting people out for 18 months or two years after they've committed violent crimes is that jails are clogged with people who've been charged with a variety of things, such as drug offenses, that can be handled administratively or some other way."

NOW AVAILABLE: My edition of Johnson's Dictionary Guide to Grammar and Style By Jack Lynch Last revised 3 August 2001 Note: I've been working on a new guide that might help some readers of this one, called " Getting an A on an English Paper ." It's far from finished, but it may still be useful. Jump directly to: Contents a b c ... Links I've also been experimenting with a new search engine . It's very rudimentary, but may be useful. Introduction These notes are a miscellany of grammatical rules and explanations, comments on style , and suggestions on usage I put together for my classes. Nothing here is carved in stone, and many comments are matters of personal preference . Anyone who can resist turning my own preferences into dogma is welcome to use this HTML edition. Comments are always welcome. I should be clear up front: I'm not a linguist, nor a scholar of the history of the language. Linguists are wary of " prescriptive Why, then, have I spent so much time on a prescriptive and fairly traditional usage guide? Because these notes may be useful in making your writing clearer and more effective . I'm not out to make definitive statements about what's right and what's wrong , and Lord knows I wouldn't be qualified even if I tried. I can, however, make suggestions on things that are likely to

13. MCRW Article: The Grammar Wench's Contest Rant who helped me with this article, but I asked for “grammar and mechanics issuesin contests’ and initially received several lists of general pet peeves http://www.mcrw.com/lovenotes/contestrant.htm

The Grammar Wench's Contest Rant Author: Jody Wallace Original Publication Date in Love Notes : November 2001 I’ve got a gripe, and you may share it. Conversely, my airing of it in such a combative way might make you mad. In fact, you may be one of the perpetrators of my current peeve: people who think they know grammar and mechanics but do not. It wouldn’t matter if these people had no contact with or influence over me, but sometimes — like in the case of contest judges — they do. I’m tired of getting my much-awaited contest results back with low scores in grammar and mechanics that I don’t deserve! “Be sure you get a critique partner to look over your manuscript before you send it out.” (Always smart, but when the judge points out no typos or other errors.) “Watch out for run-on sentences — you know, the really long ones?” “Editors frown when you don’t use enough commas.” “You are very wordy. Editors don’t like words.” Well, thinks my reader, you’re certainly full of your little self, aren’t you? Maybe these fine, hard-working contest judges are simply giving you some advice you need to be taking? What makes you so right and them so wrong? Simply this: grammar and mechanics, for the most part, are not a matter of opinion. Diss my dialogue. Tell me my opening is boring. Point out that I’m telling and not showing. I’ll thank you for the observation and work on it. But don’t, and I mean don’t, tell me a word is misspelled that is not. Don’t tell me I have run-on sentences when I do not. Don’t sprinkle commas through my story that aren’t supposed to be there. And don’t give me a low score in grammar and mechanics without sufficient explanation! You’ll just convince me that you don’t know what you’re talking about, and all your hard work on my submission will have been wasted.

Summary Response Essay Assignment Dr. Jim Wohlpart The English Concentration in the Liberal Studies Degree For this assignment, you will complete a summary-response essay in reaction to an assigned piece of research. You will need to read the assigned article closely, analyzing the argument as it unfolds and determining the thesis. Then you will need to write an essay that summarizes the thesis and the argument of the article (2-4 paragraphs) and that responds to the strengths and/or weaknesses of the article (2-4 paragraphs). Your summary should clearly state the thesis of the article and should explain how the critic develops the thesis. Your response should provide a clear thesis, agreeing or disagreeing with the article, and provide evidence for your stance; this evidence can come from an analysis of the critic’s argument and/or from a discussion of the literary work considered in the article. You should also include a title, an introduction, and a conclusion for your essay.
