My grand "experiment" is just around the corner. It is my firm belief that a better and improved knowledge of how English really works -- the grammar -- would solve at least half of all punctuation issues. In addition to just knowing more about something we use intimately, you are going to make your job easier by having a better knowledge of grammar.
So my "experiment" is to see just how many people want to make the financial and time commitment to join a grammar class.
"Make your life easier! Learn more about something you use every day! Earn CEU's!" are the screaming headlines I would use to advertise this class.
The class will be 1.2 CEU's -- six sessions over three separate and distinct weekends.
May 4 and 5, May 18 and 19, June 8 and 9 -- Saturday sessions from 8:00 to 10:00 A.M. PACIFIC time and Sunday sessions from 5:00 to 7:00 P.M. PACIFIC time. It is $400 for reporters (just $35 per CEU) with a discount for teachers/students/scopists/proofreaders.
