21. Mechanics Of Writing the rules for writing in business, review the new items on my web site on thestandard rules for punctuation, grammar, numbers, capitalization, and word http://www.wvup.edu/jcc/pam/punctuationguides.htm

Pam Braden, Professor of Business Grammar and Punctuation Hints Grammar, spelling, and punctuation. In each of my classes, a certain percent of your final grade on every assignment is based on mechanics. In the "real world," the impact of your overall ability and performance often stems from the details, including how well you communicate in writing and verbally. To help you review (or, God forbid, learn for the first time) the "rules" for writing in business, review the new items on my web site on the standard rules for punctuation, grammar, numbers, capitalization, and word division. While this will not catch you up on 12+ years of English, it might help you make better decisions about how to type the number in a paragraph. It won't help you if you don't use it, though! Sentence structure, spelling, and punctuation errors will take away from the overall effectiveness of your message and, of importance to you for your grades, will reduce your grade significantly. Proofread after it gets cold. Have someone else help you proofread. Check every sentence to make sure it is not a run-on or a fragment.

Grammar and Usage Guidelines for GNOME Documentation This section contains an alphabetical list of grammar and usage guidelines for use in GNOME documentation. Abbreviations Rules: A shortened form of a word or phrase that takes the place of the full word or phrase, for example Dr, a.m., p.m, etc. Usually abbreviations are familiar and do not need any explanation. Adjectives Rules: Use adjectives with caution. If an adjective is necessary to differentiate between items, then use adjectives. In all cases, test whether the phrase can stand alone without the adjective. Acronyms Rules: A term that represents a multi-word term. Typically, acronyms are formed in the following ways: From the first letters of each word in a compound term, for example Table of Contents (TOC). From recognizable parts of a compound term, such as GNU Object Model Environment (GNOME). Apply the following rules: Write the acronym in uppercase letters, unless there is a compelling case for lowercase.

27. Relevant And Irrelevant Grammar of a hyphen can lead to ambiguity, but in many cases hyphen use is a matter of style,not grammar. Many punctuation and capitalization rules for vertical lists http://www.jeanweber.com/about/grammar2-old.htm

Relevant and irrelevant grammar rules (Note: this article has been superceded by one titled " Distinguish between essential, nonessential, and fake rules "; it is included here as an example of an early draft. This draft was workshopped by two groups of students and edited by Geoff Hart, then revised.) When editors focus on irrelevant grammar and punctuation rules, their reputation for being unhelpful nitpickers increases. When editors focus instead on relevant grammar issues, they increase their value to writers and the writers are far more likely to appreciate the contribution of editors. What are relevant grammar and irrelevant grammar rules? Relevant grammar and punctuation rules are those that are essential for clear, unambiguous communication. Irrelevant grammar and punctuation rules are those that are not essential for clarity and unambiguity. Many such rules are a matter of style, not prescriptive grammatical rules. As style issues, they may be written into a style guide as "the way we do things here," to improve consistency in a company's publications, but editors and writers need to recognize them as style choices , not rules of English grammar.

28. Essential And Nonessential Rules Of Grammar, Punctuation, And Usage Many punctuation and capitalization rules for vertical lists. Many rules about theuse of hyphens use is a matter of style or convention, not grammar—and even http://www.jeanweber.com/about/grammar2.htm

Break out of the grammar trap: Distinguish between essential and nonessential rules of grammar, punctuation, and usage How much attention should technical communicators pay to formal rules of grammar, punctuation, and usage? Does incorrect grammar, punctuation, or usage detract from the value and usability of your group’s publications? Does your audience care, or even notice, if formal rules are broken? Why have rules? Grammar is the arrangement, relationships, and functions of words and the ways they are put together to form phrases, clauses or sentences. Punctuation marks are signals that help readers to understand the ideas in a passage and read more quickly and efficiently. Rules of grammar, punctuation, and usage can be essential or nonessential—or even fake! Writers and editors need to pay attention to the essential issues, but can spend less time on nonessential issues—particularly in the face of tight deadlines—and they can safely ignore the fake issues. Essential rules are those that are necessary for clear, unambiguous communication.

Therefore phonics is a branch of orthography, as is penmanship. Spelling is also considered a part of orthography. The teaching of penmanship is considered in the article, Writing in the Grammar Stage , therefore for our purposes we will discuss phonics and spelling here. In our homeschool, we teach orthography in 1st and 2nd grades. We teach spelling throughout the grammar stage, from 1st through 6th grades. It is imperative that children learn to read through phonics instruction. There are several reasons for this. The first is the most obvious: the English language is a phonetic language. In other words, unlike the Chinese, whose language is a pictoral one, with every word taken in its totality to mean something unique, our language is based on a set of characters, called letters, each with specific sounds associated with them. It is only common sense that phonetic languages are learned phonetically, and that pictoral languages like Chinese are learned by a look-say or some other method. Grammar Curriculum page.
