This is a genuine thought not a joke. But most of use, while we read, it has been decades since we last spent time learning the skills needed to write well. I don't me tell stories but just proper grammar, sentence structure and paragraph construction.
I know my grammar is horrid even though once upon a time it was excellent. I have just forgotten most all the rules. I use run-on sentences all the time. I don't believe I can create a proper paragraph today. I try to express myself as well as possible but punctuation is a challenge on the best of days and often I am in such a rush to post and go, I don't really re-read prior to posting leaving some genuinely pathetic comments. I know what I was trying to express but, well, I doubt anyone else does.
So maybe we could app benefit from a section where those who know better can help those who ask? As long as it remains civil and with the understanding people ask because they either forgot how or never really knew how to write well.
I also think re-visiting the things we learned as kids can only improve our appreciation of the books we read. It can also help recognize those books which are written so poorly that they could potentially decrease a person's IQ. :P Then again I like good profanity laden pulp fiction as much as the next guy. I like it even better when "those words" are used in proper sentences.
I think there simply must be enough regulars along with the casual visitor who has the ability to help the rest of us that this sort of thing could be of interest, maybe? Or maybe I need to up my meds?
