With Web 2.0, it seems you only have to ask and you shall receive. There’s a service for everything!
At Gramlee, you can buy “words” and have professional grammar editors check your work. For a high-profile or high-stakes piece, I can see how it might be worth a try. The Gramlee grammar blog is here.
Of course Grammar Girl is the queen of grammar tips. With her weekly podcast, you can brush up and be entertained. And this week’s episode is on which vs. that. This is a very very common error in papers I grade… maybe you should listen to it. hint. hint.
The point, of course, is that resources abound and if you’re having trouble, take advantage of them! I frequently check my AP style via the Web when my styleguide isn’t handy.
Want to make fun of others – I mean, learn from others’ mistakes? Here are some of my favorite bad grammar blogs:
