Quote from: twm on April 15, 2015, 10:45:52 AMI wish that grammar and language use were still taught in schools over here, not in a pedantic way but to ensure clarity. I fear our teachers have themselves been through the education system without being taught, for example, that the use of, and placement of, a comma can significantly affect the meaning of a sentence, so what hope is there for the children they teach? In addition, book publishers often don't seem to employ proofreaders these days. Agree wholeheartedly!
