I'm going to post this on my site, and on the NMJ site, so that more people read it. I found this handy little thing in lieu of my search for definitions for terms that will be on our terminology quiz next Wednesday. Take a look--and make sure you scan allllllll the way to the bottom, because that's the reason I'm postin this--not only is it a nice little handbook for journalism, but there's some mention of the quirks in the English language (which, by the way, is presicely why I love English so much :)
here's the link. It's a PDF, so I couldn't copy and paste the thing I wanted, but it's certainly worth a look as a quick reference, too! http://www.jteacher.com/PDF/gpstyleguide.pdf
Yep, I did. Very amusing.
did you read the little thing all the way at the bottom about English being a strange language? I love that... all the little oddities :^)
That's a great resource... very compact and useful!
