Website Redesigned

August 30th, 2012 3 comments

With the publication of The Big Ten of Grammar? in?paperback? and in e-book for your Kindle or Nook, my website has been completely redesigned.? Outdated blogs have been deleted and new ones included.

The home page has a variety of new entries.? There is a short grammar test you may want to take, and I call you special attention to the link with The Huffington Post, the only completely online newspaper in the world.? I have been accepted as a regular blogger by The Huffington Post.? Although my entries?vary greatly in subject matter, they all relate in some way to grammar.? I submit articles on a weekly basis, but the editors of The Huffington Post do not accept every article for publication.? Hence,?my blogs may not?appear every week.

I hope you find my redesigned website helpful and easy to use.? Please be sure to contact me with any question or comments about grammar.

Send Your Questions and Comments

August 30th, 2012 Comments off

Through the years, I?ve been the ?go to? person in our family for answering questions relating to grammar. ?My grown children and grandchildren affectionately refer to me as their ?grammar guru.?

Since The Big Ten of Grammar was published, many of their friends, as well as others who have come across my website, have been e-mailing their questions to me. ?Reading questions and answers about grammar is a learning experience for anyone, so I?m inviting you to e-mail your questions about grammar to this website, and I will post your questions and my answers.

I have had a similar blog on this website for about two years.? It has received nearly two hundred comments and questions, far too many for most people to spend the time reading.? So I have deleted it and replaced it with this new entry.
