Your post are helping to alleviate the grammar phobia in me. Thanks, Crystal.

Just excellent. I need to remember all these things. All the time. Thanks.
Thanks for these tips; they're very useful! Readers get drawn into stories in part because of good, clean writing, and these are valuable ideas for creating that kind of writing.
I.E AND E.G.
Thank you! I've never know what those meant or how to properly use them!
JOINT AND SEPARATE POSSESSION
Thank you so much! I had a hard time finding what joint and seperate possession means! Once again, thank you!
WAIT AND AWAIT
Oh, I love this site! Do you have a past post about lay, lie and all that good stuff?
This is a very clear and succinct explanation of the distinction between the two words."
LAY AND LIE
OMG! This is GREAT!!! I might actually understand it now! Thanks so much, Crystal. This is an awesome site!
You have a great way of explaining words. Your blog is a wonderful source for writers. I'll have to search your post to see if you have "affect" "effect", I know I use those improperly often.
AFFECT AND EFFECT
Thank you for this great post! I have printed it to keep it handy. Hopefully, it will positively affect my future writing.
Thanks for this post Crystal. I was going to actually email you and request that you explain the difference between these two, because these are usually a problem for me. Thanks again!
Another classic, Crystal Clear explanation...this tutorial contains some subtle nuances well worth being reminded of. Thanks!
THAT AND WHICH
Another excellent grammar lesson!
You are really rockin' this grammar instruction! I am currently working on a short story for class, which must be submitted this week, and this was very helpful. Did I get it right? (Note from CCP: she did get it right!)
WHO AND WHOM
Perfect! Got it...I keep all these tutorials in a bookmarked file now.
Great tutorial!! I'm saving this one.
Another great tutorial.
QUOTATION MARKS
Great post. Good tips about punctuation.
AWHILE AND A WHILE
Another fine tutorial. Got it added to my Clear as a Crystal file.
What a wonderful tip!
Oh!!! Those examples are perfect and it really makes sense now. Thanks!
APOSTROPHE USE WITH POSSESSIVE NOUNS
Excellent and very thorough. Got this one copied and stored along with ALL your tutorials in my Crystal Clear Writing folder. :)
Another excellent post. I always have trouble with these.
Now that my eyes have re-focused after glazing over, I can say that this is why writers need to hire editors--So they don't have to think too much about grammar. I can't keep all the darn rules straight in my head. Thanks for doing what you do. I am cutting and pasting this into a new word file for grammar tips.
Good one! I'm tweeting this.
Clear and concise. Thanks.
That possessive S has at some points been the bane of my existence...so thanks for this.
Great article! Thanks for the examples too.
Confusing topic, excellent post. Many people really do not know at all how to handle these pesky little things, so thanks for 'splaining it so nicely.
Excellent post! I enjoyed this a lot...Great blog. :)
LEVELS OF EDITING
Crystal, great explanation and post today - I copied it as a word doc and stored it in my "Crystal Clear" file.
You've written a wonderful post that throws light on a rather mysterious (to me) subject.
ONE WORD VS. TWO WORDS
Another great post.
Thanks for sharing this list and clarifying these points.
WRITING DATES AND TIMES
Writing dates and times is always confusing for me, so I really appreciate this, Crystal! Thanks.
Great tips. This is very helpful. Thanks.
Awesome tips. I make some of those mistakes.
I will copy and paste into a writing tips folder I've started to gather all these handy dandy things in one place. Thank you.
Great post!

ReplyDeleteYay! :-)
ReplyDeletetake care

I haven't even heard of wangle before...I am going to try to use that word!
ReplyDeleteWangle is a word? I need to remember that for Scrabble.
ReplyDeleteAlex, Old Kitty, Jo-Jo and Diane: Thanks so much for your continued support of my random posts! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm HAPPY to have provided a few *new* words for you to use (and at the same time clarify their meanings)!
Hey hey. I was threatened with a game of scrabble once. I shudder to think what my spelling would have done to me. Scrabble doesn't have spellchecker. haha
ReplyDeleteGreat list. Two words that people confuse here in Texas is ideal/idea. Hearing someone say "That's a great ideal" is like finger nails on the blackboard to me.
