D#8,HW#5 Grammar Assignment

This week I finally had a chance to look at the Grammar Girl site. I wish I could get it to work on my dial-up. The two concepts I reviewed were:

Which Versus That

Between Versus Among

I reviewed several papers that I have submitted. I made the following corrections:

Anything we do which uses technology to enrich the lesson is better received, and the information is retained longer than with more traditional activities.

Corrected: Anything we do that uses…

I entered the information from the various MARC records into spreadsheets, which made it easier to find differences between the entries for each title. (Correct usage)

Youth Library services that require new technology skills are playing an increasing role in requirements for candidates seeking employment at all levels. (Correct usage)

Sounds like you are doing a great job on your grammar. I have not gone to that girl site yet. Is it good?

I think it is. I don't listen to the podcast, though. I just look for a topic I need to work on, and click on that link.
