Quiz: Are You a Grammar Geek? - David Silverman
When I teach writing, my students always make the same mistakes. Semester after semester I present them with a list of errors they will make, and they make them anyway.
You know what's next: another list of things to please, please stop doing. But this time, as a quiz — you know, for fun.
1. Which is standard usage?a. I'm on the Internet!b. I'm on the internet.
2. What's wrong with: "I would like to apologize. "
3. Which is standard usage?PC's are useless as farming equipment. PCs can be used as rudimentary hoes.
4. Which is standard usage?a. He said, "Bite me."b. He said, "Bite me"....
