I had the good fortune to moderate Mariella Morgan's workshop at the 2010 Muse Online conference. Who would have thought that a workshop on punctuation and grammar would turn out to be my favorite? If you do a grammar workshop again this year, I'm signing up!<br /><br />PeggyMargaret Fielandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12639464925210908450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2925401174378785919.post-91369253152100175822011-03-13T17:40:36.060-05:002011-03-13T17:40:36.060-05:00It's nice to know I can still teach something....It's nice to know I can still teach something. *grin*Vivian Zabelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06129178812565073972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2925401174378785919.post-68054791653249112982011-03-13T17:38:13.202-05:002011-03-13T17:38:13.202-05:00Thank you for the wonderful examples on correct co...Thank you for the wonderful examples on correct comma usage.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2925401174378785919.post-91718327293048298452011-03-13T12:24:28.971-05:002011-03-13T12:24:28.971-05:00Just remember that if you mean a particular writer...Just remember that if you mean a particular writer, you do not set his name off with commas. Items set off by commas, in most cases, can be left out and not change the meaning of the sentence.<br /><br />If you have more than one brother, sister, etc., how can the reader know which one you mean?
