I need to read more about changing tenses. Do you have any advice? What guide(s) should I use? I want to be a better writer. Help!

It's one thing to write as a blogger, it's another to write a book or a paper. Just about everyone understands the writing notes, comments on the web is prone to grammatical and syntactical errors. Rarely is this a problem. <br /> <br /> Writing an article or a book by it's nature is more closely edited and reader's expectations are higher in terms of the errors you mention.<br /> <br /> So relax...

Writing an article or a book by it’s nature is more closely edited and reader’s expectations are higher in terms of the errors you mention.

So relax…

I attempted to register numerous times but never received my password. I requested my password numerous times but never got any email from your site. Not really sure what's up with that. I even emailed you but maybe it didn't go through, because I never heard back from ya.<br /> <br /> So yeah, glad to see comments opened up, though I would still like to be able to register as it would be nice to have a profile (with links and whatnot) on every comment.<br /> <br /> Thanks again!<br /> Tinuviel.

So yeah, glad to see comments opened up, though I would still like to be able to register as it would be nice to have a profile (with links and whatnot) on every comment.

Thanks again!

If you didn't register before, it is too late to sign up now because I've turned off registration. I'm trying to fix this bug, but it won't be easy. Changes to code take a long time here!

His problem? Description of the panda bear in some guidebook is mis-punctuated. Here’s a book suggestion on grammar and punctuation: “Eats, Shoots & Leaves.”
