Reading Response Redo: A One- Time Opportunity



            The article that I read talked about why punctuation and grammar are so important. Not only did they explain why they were so important, they also gave examples. They also mentioned that our easy communication could also have a really big impact on how we write. This is because when we text, tweet or something in those lines, we have a tendency to shorten things or berate. And as we do this on a regular it can and could affect how we write.

            “Little things add up”, this passage stood out to me because it’s true. You may not have that many major mistakes in your writing but the tiny things can add up to a major problem. For instance it could just be that you forgot to put a few commas here and there; that doesn’t seem like much but if you do it more than once it could cause some issues in your writing.

            “Is at an all-time high”, as I was reading this I really didn’t notice that all time didn’t have a hyphen. And that could become an issue, what I mean by this is that we over look things and it could be something small. But, we as whole really need to pay attention to those things so we can become better at grammar and making our writings better.

            I really don’t have a connection to the rules, just by reading this makes me realize that I have a lot of work to do on making myself better at punctuation and also grammar. To me I really just think I just forget the tiny things and it causes more problems than I need. Reading this also gave me a better since on how to write. What I mean by this is that I need to work on expanding my vocab. And if I do this I feel like it could help me get my grammar in order. Another thing that could help me is reading more books and also practice.
