Punctuation, Grammar and Other Cures for Insomnia by Sandra Glahn Try to limit yourself to a maximum of two commas per sentence. After that, it gets confusing. Limiting the number of commas keeps you from saying too many things at one time. It also prevents overuse of adjectives. (Editors loathe overuse of adjectives and adverbs.) The period goes inside the quotes, even if it's just one word. (Yeah—even one letter.) For example: Pat it and mark it with a "b." Yes, it looks awkward, but it is correct—that is, unless you are publishing in England. The most common error a person makes while using the English language is when they use a plural pronoun with a singular antecedent. (In case you didn't notice, this sentence structure is incorrect, as are some which follow. However, what it says is true.) A preposition is a bad thing to end a sentence withunless to make it perfect sounds too pedantic. Churchill illustrated this by saying this was something "up with which I will not put." (Prepositions are words such as at, in, under, over, above, around, through, with, etc.). Try to limit yourself to one prepositional phrase per sentence (over the river, through the woods, to Grandmother's house). Try to never split infinitives. (Keep the infinitive "to" with the verb. Don't put the modifier between the "to" and the verb as it appears here. This should have read, ‘Try never

Tips on Grammar, Punctuation and Style Commas and semi-colons. If the rules you learned about commas and semi-colons don't mean much to you, forget them and try this: Read one of your sentences aloud and see where you would naturally pause, where you would draw a breath. If it's a short pause, like that just was, you probably need a comma. If it's a longer pause, but not quite a full stop (for which you'd need a period), you probably need a semi-colon; remember that whatever follows a semi-colon must be able to stand on its own, as a full sentence, like this one. If you don't want your reader to pause, there shouldn't be a comma, there, because as, this demonstrates it's very difficult to figure, out, what you're saying when your punctuation, makes the sentence unreadable. Your sentences shouldn't leave your reader hyperventilating from the constant shallow breaths that over-punctuation requires. Nor should they be gasping for breath at the end of a long, unpunctuated sentence. (Consider yourself responsible for your readers' cardiovascular health.) Check your dashes and hyphens.

Grammar, punctuation, spelling The Web abounds with sites teaching grammar, punctuation, and spelling. Not surprisingly, most of these sites are provided by educational institutions, teachers, or business-writing consultants, presumably to make up for the lack of grammar teaching in so many school systems for the past several decades. Some are tutorials (masquerading as style guides) for technical communicators. Here are a few sites that I have found useful or that other people have recommended to me.

Punctuation Below is a description of the most common punctuation marks and their proper usage. They are listed in functional order, starting with those that end sentences, followed by those that fall in the middle of sentences, and finally those that fall in the middle of words. period exclamation point question mark comma ... apostrophe The Period A period looks like this: It is used to end a sentence. You should not use a period for anything other than ending a sentence. (A period also makes up part of an ellipsis, but that's another story.) The Exclamation Point An exclamation point looks like this: Like the period, the exclamation point is used to end a sentence, but it also adds emphasis. When you're writing dialogue and a character is shouting, you might want to end the sentence with an exclamation point. Example:: "Gabrielle, look out!" yelled Xena. The Question Mark A question mark looks like this: Like the period and exclamation point, the question mark is used to end a sentence, but only when the sentence is a question. Example: "Xena, where are we going?" asked Gabrielle.
