The question of rules in communication
Recently, I have read a lot about whether we should worry about how we communicate, especially when publishing material online. Does it matter if we don't use capitals when we should or we spell words incorrectly or mangle our grammar?
Comprise or comprise of?
When do you append 'of' to the verb 'comprise'?
When the committee writes a document . . .
When the committee writes a document, the result is often a variety of inconsistent spellings, grammar and punctuation. The same phrase can be written three different ways on the same page, sometimes with capitals, sometimes without. Generally, it's a mess.
When something is worth doing
I was wondering whether this z2zine blog served any real, useful purpose when I was proofreading a passage which contained the word 'principal' instead of 'principle'. I wrote a blog about that, I thought. As I looked through our usage statistics, I found that people are finding these blog pages as a result of searches for such similar sounding words and I hope what they find is useful to them.
The remote revolution
The ability to develop effective relationships remotely is very beneficial, especially when a client rings up with an urgent request for work that needs to be completed at the last minute.
The dependent dependant
Dependent or dependant? They sound and look similar, but their meanings are different, so how do you know which one to use?
