A message from Ron Reuter-OSU Cascades Natural Resources:
We are living in a digital world and the grammar used by media and celebrities is often incorrect; use of grammar has an impact on those listening to you or reading your works. Word selection matters, so select wisely and correctly. Being smart includes the ability to think AND clearly articulate those thoughts in verbal or written form.
As you begin to think about term papers, or your essay questions on midterms, remember that your professor is influenced strongly by what your writing looks and sounds like. Dr. Appleby, a retired crop science professor, has configured a list of common grammar mistakes. Take a look at these to make sure you are using the correct form.
