Week 7 & 8 Grammer Girl Response

This week’s grammar girl response is on the comma splice. I am guilty of them and probably will be in the future as well. I have noticed that spell check will often times catch them. That is lucky for me and anyone else who uses spell check. I do believe that I catch most of them on my own because the sentence just doesn’t sound right. Until I took this class I hadn’t even heard of a comma splice, at least not that I can remember. I have been out of school for a long time. My thirty year reunion is next year. Wow, how time flies when you are having fun. Well back to the task at hand. I think between spell checking and proof reading most of us should be able to catch and correct them before submitting our work. I know we are supposed to write a two hundred and fifty word minimum on this and I am having a very difficult time coming up with something to write about. We probably had a quiz on them as well, but I don’t remember which week it was in. I didn’t look at this grammar girl episode until Tuesday the seventeenth of March because we were having speaker problems with our new computer and I didn’t realize I could have just read it. Oh well, that’s what I get for thinking. I am wondering how many other people in this class are having, or had a hard time writing this response.
