About Site Author
I have an Honours B.A. in English and a Masters Degree. My editing experience began in high school as Editor-in-Chief of the school newspaper. In college, I continued, first as a reporter, then as Editor-in-Chief. Now, as a retired military officer, I have over thirty years experience in writing and editing.
Reading blogs, forums and published works, I have found errors in grammar. Some are typographical mistakes, but some reflect the writer's lack of knowledge. Grammar can be confusing and boring, but it doesn't have to be.
When I visited grammar sites to see what was available I found they gave examples, but didn't tell people how to remember what was what. I developed this site to provide mnemonics, or memory aids, to help people detect what to use and when to use it.
I hope you enjoy becoming a grammar detective of your own.
