Cross Your T’s: Copyblogger edition
2012 June 1
Thanks to this infographic I found on Pinterest, I can sum up about 15 Cross Your T’s posts into one. Copyblogger’s “15 Grammer Goofs That Make You Look Silly” is a must-have reference for all writers, especially those whose grammar skills may be questionable.

What kind of grammar things would you like to see? Maybe I can do some research for you! Grammar Girl is one of my favorite resources for grammar questions. If you haven’t checked out that site, you totally should!

I will read this and forget all of them at once. I need to be trained.

It’s just practice, practice, practice! I think printing it out (and maybe even laminating it) as a reference next to the computer is a great idea. I might even do that!

Heehee – I sometimes wish I could edit others’ posts. And don’t get me started on peek, peak, and pique….

I always have to think twice when typing those three! (And confession…sometimes I want to type “sneek” instead of “sneak.” Gah!)

Oooh! I love this. I don’t have perfect grammar, but I am sure bugged when I read and notice other people’s mistakes!

I’ll admit I often forget to proofread my own work. It’s much more fun proofreading other people’s writing. ;)
