I used to blog with careless abandon, writing about whatever came to mind. Grammar and careful proof-reading might not have been in the forefront. In time, funny memes popped up pointing out the grammar errors of others.\u00a0 I became self-aware and rereading everything for the misused there, their, they’re. There’s more that was be worse like its vs it’s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I started worrying about my own writing, secretly saving the examples as reference. Over time I have improved both in my writing style and topics. What do you do to avoid the grammar keepers of the internet that sic themselves on you? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over time I’ve learned to not use ellipses and to not double space between sentences. My blog<\/a> is slowing improving, typos be damned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When in doubt I will use grammarly<\/a> to help work out which version will be correct. Their version of grammar works, they’re doing their best over there to help you too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’d love to hear from you for tips and tricks to improve your writing skills.
