i admit i was afraid to do this at first. i'm a former Creative Writing major--the one branch of English not necessarily known for it's spelling and grammar skills, can i tell you--and i haven't had to beta in aaaaages.

*pats tinny* my kids call me the queen of punctuation so I guess it's becoming an obsession with me. Plus I'm always tempted to yank chains when I see them so that's my big bad.

have I mentioned that when my mother was an English teacher I was failing English? not b/c of poor grammar, but b/c I was such a wretched student until college.

on the other hand I could never get a real handle on grammar. I know what sounds right and I know what doesn't, but to actually parse a sentence for you? the possibility of finally learning what everything is is one of the few regrets I have about not being a full on English major.

My handle on grammar only really came after studying German. That's when all the mechanics fell into place! ;)

I had enough trouble with French. Tho I did want to learn Latin briefly. Took it for a few mths in junior high.
