Are you a grammar guru? A maven of mechanics? A punctuation professional? Prove it!
The truth is, many of us are, at times, uncertain about exactly where that comma or quotation mark should go, or whether our nouns and pronouns are agreeing and getting along as well as our nouns and verbs are, or should be! Ask yourself: Would someone who is really good at grammar and mechanics look at everything you wrote this month and say, “Wow! Your writing is excellent”?
Whether you are confident with your writing ability or not, test yourself by trying to solve the Writing Center’s monthly challenge, Proof the Goof! Take a chance to win a prize and recognition, and have fun sharpening your skills—and your eyes—for recognizing and correcting goofs in writing!
Watch for the first Proof the Goof, coming out soon!
