Todd himself later mailed some good examples, one of which I¡¯ll shamelessly repeat here:
Original:
"The Usual Suspects is a 1995 film about how five criminals are brought together and embark on a crime spree, with a spectacular plot twist at the conclusion."
Todd¡¯s revision:
"The Usual Suspects is a 1995 film about five criminals who are brought together and embark on a crime spree, with a spectacular plot twist at the conclusion."
(The sentence could further be rendered more readable by deleting and embark.)
Todd didn¡¯t provide any reason why examples, but here¡¯s a particularly egregious one:
"The reason why I¡¯m hungry is because I haven¡¯t eaten in two days."
First off, you can¡¯t follow a linking verb (is) with an adverb (because), so that whole part is out. Second, and back to my main point, either reason, because or why is sufficient by itself.
Revisions:
"The reason I¡¯m hungry is that I haven¡¯t eaten in two days."
"I¡¯m hungry because I haven¡¯t eaten in two days."
So much for my diet, eh? LOL
I rushed this site into existence to take over for Grammar Sucks for a few reasons, one of them dealing with server-side issues. I was switching servers and wanted to retire Grammar Sucks (and use it as a 301 redirect only).
Thus, I slapped this site together and got it up quickly. When it came to titling it, my official URL was and is GrammarSource, but that doesn¡¯t say much about what the site is all about, even with a subtitle under it.
I came up with what I thought was a brilliant idea to create my own word to signify that this site was all about English writing and grammar usage, so I coined the word Englishapedia.
My first impulse was to use Englishipedia, copying Wikipedia, but I thought that would be too obvious a rip-off. Then I toyed with Englishopedia, morphing the generic word encyclopedia.
Now that I look at what I have wrought, and I hate the "a" version. The other two seem much more suited.
If anyone would like to influence my choice over the next few days, please just e-mail me.
Welcome to my new site, which takes over for Grammar Sucks.
The latter site was great and dates back to 1997 or so, but with sucks in the title, my e-mail box was constantly filled with every spammy sexual-perversion offer in the universe. I just got sick of it.
So, welcome to Grammar Source.
I should be back on track here soon with new and substantial postings. To make an excuse, I switched servers this past week, whichI thought that would take a day or less to do. It ended up consuming at least four days, and there are still glitches.
So, to solve the problem, I¡¯m placed Grammar Source on an entirely new hosting service. Things should be fine from now on.
