Grammar and punctuation

There are a lot of grammar books out there, and you probably don’t need to read them. I’ve summarized here those rules that tend to trip up even people who have been writing professionally for years.

  • Pronouns: Getting the target right
  • Pronouns: Singular or plural?
  • Quotation marks: Single or double? To use at all?
  • Forming plurals: S’s or not?
  • Capitalization
  • The Matchett hyphen manifesto
  • A few notes on the humble comma
  • Punctuating lists

If you’ve always wondered about some rule that you don’t see here, send me an email.
