Sometimes it's hard to pound it through that grammar really does make or break your first impression. And thanks FekketCantenel for making a stink about the citations - now I can pass on the post with the original material to back it up. http://grammar.quickanddirtytips.com/does-grammar-matter.aspx?commentid=15443#Comments http://grammar.quickanddirtytips.com/does-grammar-matter.aspx?commentid=15443#Comments Thu, 22 Jan 2009 00:20:27 GMT FekketCantenel grammar Thanks to the author for providing more links and Mignon for posting them. I'll bump my grade up to a B-; the article still suffers from a lack of anecdotes/data for most of the listed examples. http://grammar.quickanddirtytips.com/does-grammar-matter.aspx?commentid=15423#Comments http://grammar.quickanddirtytips.com/does-grammar-matter.aspx?commentid=15423#Comments Tue, 20 Jan 2009 20:16:19 GMT Isabella grammar Hello!!

I'm sorry to have to tell you that there aren't good rules to help you remember which preposition to use in which sentence. It seems to me that the most common questions I get from people who are learning English are about prepositions, so you can at least take comfort in knowing you aren't alone. http://grammar.quickanddirtytips.com/does-grammar-matter.aspx?commentid=15356#Comments http://grammar.quickanddirtytips.com/does-grammar-matter.aspx?commentid=15356#Comments Thu, 15 Jan 2009 00:27:07 GMT Cidora grammar Hi Grammar Girl !!! I'm from Brazil and I really enjoy your podcasts... Not only your but the others too. I've learned a lot with everyone. So I'm here to ask you a help about prepositions . I still have little troubles about FOR and TO.Sometimes I don't know which I must use so I would like to know if there is a rule. Thanks. http://grammar.quickanddirtytips.com/does-grammar-matter.aspx?commentid=15355#Comments http://grammar.quickanddirtytips.com/does-grammar-matter.aspx?commentid=15355#Comments Wed, 14 Jan 2009 17:01:19 GMT Grammar Girl grammar Martha has kindly provided references in response to your requests. The survey of hiring managers is from HRZone (http://is.gd/fJoD). She can't find the original source for the "m-u-n-y" story, but it is recounted at The Jewish Press (http://is.gd/fJqG). As a bonus, here's a story about someone the authorities called The English Major Bandit because of his horribly written demand letters. Apparently Martha tried to get his notes, but they wouldn't release them to her (http://is.gd/fJs1). http://grammar.quickanddirtytips.com/does-grammar-matter.aspx?commentid=15348#Comments http://grammar.quickanddirtytips.com/does-grammar-matter.aspx?commentid=15348#Comments Tue, 13 Jan 2009 18:29:21 GMT bill grammar good episode http://grammar.quickanddirtytips.com/does-grammar-matter.aspx?commentid=15343#Comments http://grammar.quickanddirtytips.com/does-grammar-matter.aspx?commentid=15343#Comments Mon, 12 Jan 2009 20:05:45 GMT Mon, 13 Apr 2009 03:58:08 GMT http://grammar.quickanddirtytips.com/does-grammar-matter.aspx feedback@quickanddirtytips.com (Managing Editor) feedback@quickanddirtytips.com (Webmaster) en-us
