Grammar? I went to school for that!

For the record, I didn't attend a "grade" school.  I attended a "grammar" school where we learned, among a myriad of other subject, grammar.  Anyone who writes anything may be confronted with issues of "grammar." Since I have been known to write a thing or two, I felt compelled to watch these videos for a quick review. I found these little vignettes to be oddly entertaining.  Maybe I need other distractions!

See what you think... They're all very short and to the point; you may be able to binge watch the entire season in a little over 10 minutes. That's easier than taking the totality of "Game of Thrones!" She even talks about the implied diaeresis. And, by the way, that's not an intestinal disorder!

Here's the link: The Comma Queen, Series Premier

I hope she'll cover commas and quotation marks in an upcoming video.  Do they go inside or outside?

An Update from Scott Sorensen - Chief Technology Officer at Ancestry.com

Rather than trying to repeat Sorensen's message, click this link to the Ancestry.com blog to read the full story of the technical problems they've been facing.  At least they're not doing nothing about it.  The link should appear in the body of this "preview" but you may have to click the headline above for the link to activate...I don't know why!!!
