So, it's been a while! I apologize. I got a grammar request, though, so I'm going to do it! And nopony can stop me! The grammar! Will last! Forever!
Shown: somepony who clearly understands how long the grammar will last
It's that time of the year, folks!
This, and more great existential comedy can be found here.
The time of the year when Comrade actually makes a blog post.
Ok, people! It's grammar time!
Okay, that took hilariously no time at all to make.
What, I'm a grammar nerd, not an artist.
Stop looking at me like that.
The Royal Canterlot Voice and You: A Quick [1] and Dirty Guide to Speaking Far Too Loudly
Hello! I am Comrade Sparkle, resident junior grammar nerd, and this is a quick guide on writing in the ROYAL CANTERLOT VOICE!
*ahem*
I realize now that I might have jumped the gun with my last post. A number of people approached me with confusion, the very people I sought to help!
Well, my friends, this just won't do.
I'll preface the meat of this blog post with a plea:
Please tell me when you are confused.

This simple sentence gave me so much trouble in The Woman! It felt right, but also wrong somehow; should there be commas wedged into those lists of adjectives? Or not? I wasn't sure. So I turned to The Only Grammar Book You'll Ever Need and the internet for help.
It's a question of if they are "compound" or "coordinate" adjectives.
"What? Another Grammar blog so soon? But, Comrade, our brains aren't ready!" I hear you scream.
Well, people of the internet, I have a question for you.

And yeah, I guess that's all it takes to get a shoutout on my blog.
Give me a picture to use so I don't have to hustle one up myself.
Do tell how either of those suggestions are grammatically correct for that sentence, Microsoft Word, please do. 
I'm used to Word's grammar check occasionally being squirrelly and/or too "by the book"...but this instance seemed comically bad given the sentence it was suggesting these corrections for. 
I have, thou hast, he/she it hath, we/you/they have
I do, thou dost, he/she/it doth, we/you/they do (with didst as the second-person singular past)
Initially when I began to post chapters for Banners of Griffonia, I had hoped to post a new numbered chapter every week uninterrupted. Interludes and other extra chapters would go up during the week, but wouldn't interrupt the regular Saturday schedule.
Hello!
This blog will serve as a directory for the blogs I have and will post for the grammar and punctuation lessons. I know it must be difficult and annoying to dig through all my blogs to find them, especially if you need to read up on something, so I will post links to each blog (lesson) here for your convenience. As I post more lessons, I will add the links here. Enjoy!
Introduction
Subject to Your Consideration
The subject is the part of the sentence that performs the action indicated by the verb. In the sentence "Pickles Explode." the noun pickles is the subject. The subject of any sentence is a noun. The complete subject, as opposed to the simple subject, is a noun together with its modifiers.
People liked this when I posted it in the Fallout: Equestria group, so I thought, why not copy it into my blog so a bunch more people can see it 
I wrote a second self-editing blog now! Check it out after you're done with this one.
That's right! I'm utterly bored, don't feel like reading or writing much, and thus, it's time to go over another batch of these.
Yup. Common Errors. The bane of every writer, and, more importantly, of me, whenever I read through the writings of these writers. The stuff I see the most highly rated and famed authors still doing wrong. And so, we get to another batch of self-editing hints! As always, Twist is ready to serve as bullet point in the list! 
Hi everyone. I have gotten some feedback that my grammar for the first few chapters is atrocious, and yes, I know it is. I'm in the process of editing it and if the grammar was the only reason to stop you from reading my story, then I implore you to give it another try. Thank you and good day.
There's something I've noticed turning up a lot more lately than I used to. Lots and lots of authors have capitalization errors in dialogue tags when the quotation ends in a question mark or exclamation mark. Now, some authors have this problem anyway, but the upsurge I've seen recently is for authors who normally get it right. The errors only occur for dialogue ending in a question mark or exclamation mark.
They'll get this right:
"Hey," he said.
As you probably already know, I've started a community-driven project in an attempt to improve Fimfiction stories (including yours).
Previous blog: https://www.fimfiction.net/blog/804781/join-my-community-driven-project-to-make-fimfiction-stories-great-again
To facilitate the growth of the project, the community has already established its hub of operations. If you want to be a part of the future we're building, feel free to join our group:
All too often I have noticed the same thing on this site. People pointing out spelling errors. Look, we are not professional writers. If you want to comment about the story, then fine. But don't nit pick any spelling errors. We all make mistakes. So please, don't be a grammar bully.
Question for you guys.
So the newest comment for Shattered Rainbow Rock has actually brought up a solid point and is something I completely overlooked. A lot of my word choices in this story, but even in my other works leave a lot of repetitiveness and make some characters sound not the way they should. While I do try to keep characters in character as much as I can, I'll admit, I don't think I do entirely well. Which is why my question comes to this.
