Jul. 19th, 2007 06:12 pmOMG!!! My boss insists on doing my writing pet peeve.
A comma should always PRECEDE the word but. It's what I was taught. That goes doubly when you have a fragging long sentence.
*beats head* I am over here being ashamed to have my name on these atrocities of grammar.
ETA I've also found about three errors that glare at me (one of which is a frelling disagreement I can't change her mind about).
ETA2 She apparently also has a jihaad against semicolons. *growls* She's perfect at tenses, but how the frell can she be so incompetent at punctuation. It burns, my precious, it burns my eyes.
