Jumping over to say hi because I have missed you on G+ – hope this means you are crazy busy doing business
As always, you got some great stuff. Grammar…ugh, like I said on the Brain Clark’s post – I wish I had an editor in my house!
Thanks for the grammar article! I know this is a pet peeve for a lot of people, so I try to use it correctly.

Great minds think alike, John…I also read and shared the first two articles on this list! Both were excellent. I love these rundowns!
Great article John! Using bad grammar can actually turn someone away from your business, i know when i go to craigslist, some people actually write business ads using all caps and it turns me away from using them!
Thanks for grammar article, this will surely help in correcting my own grammar!!!!!!
Ahahaha… It certainly give me a good laugh, but goodness, I am sometimes using wrong grammar for the sentence…. ; – )
Your post is definitely a grammar call for those (like me) who take right grammar usage for granted…. Is my grammar right??
