I think my grammar is pretty good. It’s not perfect - not by any means - but I think it’s slightly above average. I wing it with my blog cause it would cost me a fortune to have my super star proofreader/editor go over all of my posts.

I was meeting with one of my newer clients this afternoon - a delightful lady - and on my way out we were talking about how she found me. Incidentally it was through an ad that I forgot I had on UsedPEI.  Anyway…she was telling me about how impressed she was with my website, and she actually pointed out to me what a good hold I have on the English language. She said she notices things like that and is appalled by some of the grammar she sees on the Internet.

There. Right there. That’s the reason I never let anything go online (except forum posts and my blog - people are more forgiving with blogs) or to print without being reviewed by one of Mann Made Time’s proofreader/editors. My website was written by me, but tidied up grammatically by my associate and friend, Angela Smith.

Just a point I thought I’d make in between projects. If you stink at grammar - hire someone to review your work before you publish it. You might think you can’t afford it, but can you afford to lose potential business because of your grammar?
