This is Grammer a Week, the periodic blog program-thing where I soapbox about a grammar subject I find interesting. You might, too! This week's installment is about commonly confused words and whether they should be written as one or two. Onto vs. on to? Into vs. in to? Everyday vs. every day? There are dozens of these compound words that can either appear stuck together or separated by a space. Though some word pairs have the same meaning when stuck together, some are subtly different.

Dear Bronies and Pegasisters,

It has come to my attention that one of the reasons my newest story isn't getting a lot of comments might be because there are grammar errors. To that end, I'm asking if anyone would care to scan over the story and point out any errors to me. I request that someone reply soon. The deadline for Dirty Little Secret's contest is Saturday, and edits will not be allowed after that point.

My main focus of my stories may revolve around the anthro genre, but I do still read pony version fics on the site. That said, I want to bring up something that keeps coming ip in these types of fics that NEEDS to be said from one who's a stickler for anatomy in writing and art.

YOU DO NOT DESCRIBE A PONY'S FORELEG AS AN ARM.

I'm still busy with college stuff, but that's no big deal to you guys right now, so I'll cut to the chase.

My grammar is only on the average, and I tend to mess up a lot along the way. I need someone with the skills to correct some of my stories. They have to be good at writing of course, respectful for not changing the story too much, and must be polite when they want to add something in the story. (Ask me if they could add something before they do it!)

Page break because I just went nuts on this one sentence I thought could use with improvement during a First Glance Reviews post I was trying to do today. I'm not sure if I'm correct, so I'd love to hear a second opinion on this. If you're into grammar, or just wanna see what I'm nerding about, get it after the jump.

Here is the link to my latest video making fun of grammatically and/or orthographically deficient comments I've found on the internet.
Beware: there is bad language in there. I censored the worst stuff, but things that Johnny Cash could get away with saying on a live album (hell or shit or anything) I left untouched.

I have greatly enjoyed my time here on FIMFiction.net.
And to think it all started with one, little, Applespike story.
Well, today is the day my past mistakes came to haunt me.

As of today, I am going to start actively finishing "I have to say I love you in a song." I know I know, but Sparity you've said that before including updates to your stories. To prove I am in earnest. I will have grammar updates to it by the 10th and A chapter 6 complete with my new system for Grammar issues up by the 31st of January. If I play my cards right chapter 7 will be coming up by the end of March, though this is the most flexible of these deadlines for myself. New grammar updates to

This is Grammer a Week, the periodic blog program-thing where I soapbox about a grammar subject I find interesting. You might, too! This week's installment is about the active and passive voice. You might have heard of this term before. Maybe your teacher told it to you, or maybe some well-meaning critic informed you that your entire story was written wrong. However you came to know this term, or even if you haven't, it's important to know how to use each voice and where.

Starting with a grammar-checker software first. :)

Also, I can now make images of 360KB and 1.2MB disks using FreeDOS, Raread, and a Pentium 4-era computer. Yes, the floppy controller still supports 5.25" drives even though the chipset and CPU are from like 2006.

I'll post another blog once I figure out where to upload the archive dump.

I've decided to start proof reading fanfiction on my large amount of spare time and noticed quite a few people with minor and sometimes consistent grammar and punctuation errors. The reason for which is that I get incredibly bored with my time and wish to have something to do. Just email me with the subject being FIMFIC PRF_RD, and I'll get to it as soon as possible.

I appreciate good grammar.
I appreciate the effort the author gives into their work.
I admire those who put effort into improving their grammar.

I am not a grammar Nazi.
I won't hate and dislike your story just because of a few careless mistakes.

I am not the greatest author ever; and even that is down to personal opinion.
I just write for the enjoyment of others.

But can we just get one thing straight.

If you are going to make arguments over canon...

Please...

I made a video that's basically in the same vein as Your Grammar Sucks by Jacksfilms. Take a look if you're interested.

I'm editing for two new videos featuring voicings for characters from Undertale. I'll probably only upload one video per day, though, while I'm on break.

Works on FimFiction I've Proofread/Edited for (From most recent to first)

I decided to make an official post about this, seeing as I've received a good number of requests recently.

If you need an editor for your story and would like me to take a look at it, please look over the information below and see if it qualifies.

1. No smut please. This does not include romantic stories that happen to have a clop chapter, but rather stories written for the sake of the sexual acts.
2. While I'm not opposed to editing HiE, I don't care for EQG or self-inserts.

Not really important, especially if you already read through all of my story.

So yeah...I started to take a look at my first chapters and decided to make some changes in terms of grammar.
Chapter one and two were edited multiple times in the past so they should be up to date as good as my skills allow it XP.
Right now, I will focus on season one mainly because season two should be okay.
Of course, if you think otherwise, then please tell me.

The first set that will be mad are the people who dislike me compounding You All Will in the title there.

The second set that will be mad are puritans who hate their beloved childhood memories being touched or changed.

But hopefully...
