Grammar and Spelling Tips

I know in these days of technology we are streamlining our written conversation and using all kinds of poor grammar and atrocious spelling.  However, there are times that you do need to know good grammar and spelling (written reports to your boss, letters to your customers, research papers, cover letters, etc.).  These pages will help you with some of the basics needed when you are not texting, tweeting, or using other social technologies.  As I once told students, there are the ways you speak on the street and to your friends, the way to speak to adults you respect, and the way you would speak to the President of the United States.  You need to know all of the ways and be able to choose the correct one. These pages are about the correct ones.
