Deadline 4/HW2/Grammar Assignment

I have to admit. I did not particularly like this assignment. As a coasted through some of the websites like Grammar Girls and the Owl at Purdue looking at most of the topics I felt like it was a big fat waste of my time. I did however, run accross an interesting podcast at Grammar Girls called, "Simplify Your Writing." It was fairly interesting in that it talked about ways to simplify your writing and make it easier for people reading it not to just look at it and die. This is especially important when your piece is long as mine likely will be. Basically it came down to creating a table of contents, organizing your paper in a logical format with the most important factors first, and using small sections instead of just massive chapters. Other titles I saw were things like, "Capitalizing Proper Nouns", "Units of Measure", and other rather insulting topics. I did find a powerpoint presentating on OWLS for the Rhetorical Situation thats a bit easier to understand than some of the ones Mr. Adams reccomended. If anybody had trouble understanding that the first time around try going to < http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/625/01/ >
