62. Rules Of English Grammar While there are hundreds of rules of grammar that are laid out in several capitalization – Words at the beginning of sentences aren’t the only ones http://nhnh.essortment.com/grammerrulesen_rjkx.htm

Rules of English grammar Some important rules every writer should know. Even though most of us either flunked out or fell asleep during English grammar class in school, it is an integral part of writing whether you are a professional writer or just want to write a note to your son’s teacher. Using good grammar helps get your point across effectively and focuses the attention on what you have to say instead of how you choose to say it. While there are hundreds of rules of grammar that are laid out in several style guides such as The Chicago Manual of Style and The Elements of Style, there are some that are absolute essentials to good writing that everyone should master. Agreement – Agreement in a sentence refers to all of the parts of the sentence corroborating with each other. For example, you wouldn’t say “John have two pieces of toast and I has three.” You would instead say, “John has two pieces of toast and I have three.” The subjects and verbs need to be in agreement. Without sentence agreement you have all-out civil war in your sentence and no one knows what is going on. If your sentence parts don’t agree with each other you will have to jump in and mediate, causing hard feelings all around. Tense – Tense refers to time. What time is it in your sentence? Whatever time it is it should remain consistent throughout your whole piece of writing. If it was last week you are talking about, stay there. There are three tenses in writing, past tense, present tense and future tense. Here is an example of writing with mixed tenses: “Carrie wondered how she is going to finish in time, but Joe will help her.” This sentence contains all three tenses, past in “wondered”, present in “is” and future in “will”. Pick a tense and stick to it! The sentence could read “Carry wonders how she will finish in time, but Joe will help.”

Ervin II Many writers I’ve encountered have adequate inspiration and ideas, but once they sit down at the computer, they discover they’re in trouble. Rules for capitalization, punctuation, antecedents, prepositional phrases, tenses and passive sentence structure become issues. Struggling through an annual Christmas letter or a business memo is one thing. Completing a 5,000 word short story or a 90,000 word novel is another. At this point it matters little whether the writers never paid enough attention while in school or simply learned and forgot most of that “grammar stuff.” All they know is that their grammar knowledge deficit is a major roadblock. Grammar is important! Agents and editors look for reasons to reject a submission. Sure, the story may show promise, but so do many others that cross their desk—ones which are not rife with grammatical errors. Agents and editors get FAR MORE submissions than they could ever represent or find room for in the publication schedule. It’s simple numbers.

Rule-Based Grammar versus Usage-Based Navigation LingoZine About Home Arguing for the Rules ... History of English Attack on Rules Metaphors and Usage Conclusion Discussion Recent Discussion Create New Topic List by Topic Membership Join Now Login An Attack on Rule-Based Grammar Standard English or Good English? Rule-based grammar has been shoved into our faces since we first learned how to speak. In school our teachers habitually reinforced the grammar rules and at home our parents were always quick to correct our speech. Society seemed to stress the importance of speaking English correctly. There have been debates about whether immigrants should learn how to speak English in school, whether the United States should officially become a multilingual country, and whether or not anyone knows what Standard English really is. Let the truth be told. Rule-based grammar is just not effective, plausible, or convenient in today's society. First, just about every rule in English grammar has some exception. Our teacher drills rule after rule into our heads, and they later inform us that in some particular situation, that they claim seldom shows up in writing, although it often does, there is an exception to the rule we memorized just as well as our own addresses. Socially, rule-based grammar sounds stuffy, arrogant, and elitist, thereby alienating us common-folk. The average American does not speak or write according to rule-based grammar. When some of the grammar rules are strictly applied to spoken English, they just don't flow in conversation. Our society enjoys the casualness of usage grammar, and we just don't want to be bothered with grammar that is "correct" as opposed to "pleasant to the ear".

Correct Conventions That Communicate Looking for Quality in Student Writing Learning to See the Things Kids Can Do So We Can Teach Them to Do the Things They Can't by Steve Peha Correct Conventions That Communicate “Conventions” is the term we use nowadays to describe punctuation, spelling, and grammar. (Some people even extend the term to handwriting and computer formatting, but we won’t be talking about those things here.) We used to call these things “mechanics” but I think “conventions” is a much better term because it more accurately describes what these things are — historical agreements — and how we go about using them. To me, writing correctly is hardly a “mechanical” process; it takes a lot of human thought and ingenuity to do it well. The so-called “rules of writing” are not really rules at all, they’re agreements between people in a society as to how written communication will be interpreted when it is read. These agreements began being hammered out "officially" in the 18th and 19th centuries and they are still changing slightly even today. Many “rules” change depending on who publishes the final copy. (This is referred to as “publisher’s style,” the collection of rules a particular publisher uses so that all the writing they produce will be consistent.)

The main points I take are that "baw jaws" wants a simple set of English-language capitalization, an automatic validation method that works maybe 90% of the time, and a moderation system to straighten out the remainder. I'm not sure that I would draw the same conclusions from his premises, but I do think it is a good start. One thing that I think should be added to it is that capitalization rules are only valid within the context of a known language. More on this below.

The rules are simple: Only the first word of the title should be capitalized. Use normal Greek Grammar rules for the rest of the title. The wiki isn't too hard to master, and one of the things to remember about wikis is that as anyone can come and fix up your work for you, don't be afraid to enter content. It's better to have the content there and have others fix it, than not have the content at all. :) I've added your information here: http://wiki.musicbrainz.org/wiki.pl?CapitalizationStandardGreek PS: I'm willing to correct all the Greek titles/albums/artists in the database but I don't know an easy way to filter them out (I have done arleady some correction by just looking around but this is time consuming).
