Tips on Grammar, Punctuation and Style Commas and semi-colons. If the rules you learned about commas and semi-colons don't mean much to you, forget them and try this: Read one of your sentences aloud and see where you would naturally pause, where you would draw a breath. If it's a short pause, like that just was, you probably need a comma. If it's a longer pause, but not quite a full stop (for which you'd need a period), you probably need a semi-colon; remember that whatever follows a semi-colon must be able to stand on its own, as a full sentence, like this one. If you don't want your reader to pause, there shouldn't be a comma, there, because as, this demonstrates it's very difficult to figure, out, what you're saying when your punctuation, makes the sentence unreadable. Your sentences shouldn't leave your reader hyperventilating from the constant shallow breaths that over-punctuation requires. Nor should they be gasping for breath at the end of a long, unpunctuated sentence. (Consider yourself responsible for your readers' cardiovascular health.) Check your dashes and hyphens.

This contemporary map of Ballarat shows the purported location of the Eureka Stockade. There is considerable controversy about the location of the exact site. You can view a detailed version of the entire map (379K) or an enlargement of the circled Stockade area About this publication This is a World Wide Web version of a publication produced by the Education Centre of the State Library of Victoria as a resource about the Eureka Stockade. All articles from The Argus are reproduced from State Library of Victoria holdings. So that the reader may appreciate the style of newspaper reporting in Australia in the 1850's, the articles reproduced retain original punctuation, grammar and spelling. In particular you will note that the spelling of Ballarat has changed since the 1850's. Published from 15 September 1848, The Argus contributed significantly to the Victorian community for over one hundred years until publication ceased on 19 January 1957. The publication is also available in hard-copy format through the Education Centre of the State Library of Victoria. See

65. ACT : ACT Assessment : Test Prep : English Test Tips conventions of standard written English (punctuation, grammar and usage, and sentencestructure) and of rhetorical skills (strategy, organization, and style). http://www.act.org/aap/testprep/engstrat.html

The English Test is a 75-question, 45-minute test that measures your understanding of the conventions of standard written English (punctuation, grammar and usage, and sentence structure) and of rhetorical skills (strategy, organization, and style). Spelling, vocabulary, and rote recall of rules of grammar are not tested. The test consists of five prose passages, each of which is accompanied by a sequence of multiple-choice test questions. Different passage types are included to provide a variety of rhetorical situations. Some questions refer to underlined portions of the passage and offer several alternatives to the portion underlined. You must decide which choice is most appropriate in the context of the passage. Some questions ask about an underlined portion, a section of the passage, or the passage as a whole. You must decide which choice best answers the question posed. Many questions include "NO CHANGE" to the passage as one of the choices. The questions are numbered consecutively. Each question number refers to a correspondingly numbered portion underlined in the passage or to a corresponding numeral in a box located at the appropriate point in the passage. Three scores are reported for the ACT English Test: a total test score based on all 75 questions, a subscore in Usage/Mechanics based on 40 questions, and a subscore in Rhetorical Skills based on 35 questions.

Grammar, punctuation, spelling The Web abounds with sites teaching grammar, punctuation, and spelling. Not surprisingly, most of these sites are provided by educational institutions, teachers, or business-writing consultants, presumably to make up for the lack of grammar teaching in so many school systems for the past several decades. Some are tutorials (masquerading as style guides) for technical communicators. Here are a few sites that I have found useful or that other people have recommended to me. Purdue University Online Writing Lab has handouts and exercises on grammar, spelling, and punctuation, PowerPoint presentations related to grammar, and an entire section of handouts and resources for learners of English as a Second Language. http://owl.english.purdue.edu/handouts/grammar/ Grammar, Punctuation, and Capitalization: A Handbook for Technical Writers and Editors .

Many who read this book would recognize the similarities with it and "The Elements of Style," but Anne Stilman's book covers more relevant topics and even gives readers quizzes to test what they have learned from the book. Not only it covers a great deal on topics such as grammar, spelling, style, etc., but it also covers punctuation, something that "The Elements of Style" unfortunately does not. Although it covers a lot of topics, it is to the point without all the superfluous information that tends to make reading a tedious task. Stilman writes with wittiness as well as conciseness. She also deals with modern issues in today's writing such as writing "politically correct." To me, this book is the expanded ad updated version of Strunk Jr. and E.B. White's "The Elements of Style."

Proofreading for Common Surface Errors: Spelling, Punctuation, and Grammar What is proofreading? Proofreading refers to the process of reading written work for "surface errors." These are errors involving spelling, punctuation, grammar and word choice. Why should I care about proofreading, and what should I know about it? In most college courses, instructors expect that your writing will be free of surface errors, but you may be uncertain of the rules for spelling, punctuation, grammar and word choice. The following rules and examples, taken primarily from The St. Martin's Handbook, 3rd ed. , by Andrea Lunsford and Robert Connors, may help you find and correct some of the most common surface errors in your writing. If you have questions about these rules, consult any good grammar book. How can I proofread effectively? The following four steps should help you become a better proofreader. Familiarize yourself with the errors you commonly make by looking over writing that has already been marked. Make a list of your errors, and check your writing for each of them. Carefully and slowly read your writing out loud. Often your ear will hear what your eye did not see.
