This blog is for Athabasca University students in English 140:Grammar.
Check out the Student Awards web site for all the details.
For a humourous look at grammar and some of the stickier grammatical situations, check out Grammar Girl. There is a site called Quick and Dirty Tips, and there is also a series of podcasts available. A book on the same topic has just been published. For those of you who are on Facebook, you might like to become a fan of Grammar Girl.

The unusual blue foreign car had been driving erratically when it went off the road. The driver, Jack Lemay, was seriously unjured.
JOANNE: You've made some good corrections here, but now you need to think about who is doing the action in your first sentence--then you may want to rethink your second sentence. Along the way, also think about punctuation;-)
Let's try this again...

JOANNE: Better, but still missing some punctuation;-)
