9. VERY SPECIAL POSTING: LINK to the GPS

Like the freeway, like the World Wide Web, our brains carry lots of traffic... lots of BITS [or bytes] of information. It's very hard to keep track of everything that's going on.




When we're driving, it helps to have a good Melways, a good roadmap - or even a GPS. It's the same with writing. With so much traffic - so many bytes of information - running through our minds, it's easy to get confused. That's why I've added this LINK. This link takes you to my GPS site for writing.



G = GRAMMAR





P = PUNCTUATION





S = SPELLING




Sometimes, when I'm giving you feedback, I will refer you to a particular posting on the GPS. Please make use of this LINK on those occasions - or just browse around and learn a bit more about English grammar, punctuation and spelling.
