petit’s article on the semicolon being more of a choice than a rule was the best thing I have ever read about grammar, though i must admit that I have not read very much stuff on the subject. i frankly don’t give much thought to the subject, however, that may be out of ignorance. i know that it is important for us to exercise correct grammar use, but it is not something that is in the front of my mind when I am reading a paper, i seem to be more concerned with the “bigger picture.” although, I must admit that grammar errors can distract from an otherwise good paper. petit kept it light. speaking of light. in her short pdf dean laid out some seemingly easy and effective ways of keeping grammar slightly more fun than average. I think I will enlist the help of one of my colleagues for some grammar help, because I know I could use it and I’m sure my students would benefit from it as well.

I agree that looking at the big picture of a paper is most important. On lower grade levels however the grammar (usually usage not things like commas) mistakes stand out like a sore thumb. These are easy to see but how to correct them?
