What You Will Find on This Website
This page is a gateway to the hundreds of articles originally posted on my ten public websites, articles on grammar and usage, essay-writing, poetry, teaching and education, parenting and children’s issues, ADD/ADHD, and deafness, as well articles on any number of general topics that don’t fit any of those categories. Under “Humor” you will also find humorous true anecdotes about animals and children. Bookmark this page and check back frequently, because I often add new articles.
(I am still reformatting some of the articles on this site, so please don't be too critical of formatting flaws.)

| This is going to be short and simple.
Do not say or write "anyways"--not ever. The word is "anyway."
The form "anyways" is found in some dialects in the United States, but it is not standard English, and it should never be used in any situation where you want to be considered reasonably well educated.
That's all there is to it. |
| One reader has asked a question that many of you would probably like to have an answer to.
Detergent comes in amounts. People come in numbers. Don't talk about a large amount of people, or books, or pencils, or anything else that can be counted. If something is measured rather than counted, then it comes in amounts. There is a large amount of snow on the ground, but there are a large number of trees in the forest.
