7. If you want a useful resource for grammar and usage, you could visit

my Grammar and Usage for the Non-Expert site.

I target specific grammar and usage issues that trouble a lot of people, even those who are actually good writers and quite knowledgeable about *most* grammar and usage questions. I don't obfuscate by slinging around a lot of technical terminology, and when I do have to get a bit technical in order to explain something, I explain the technical stuff in a way that anyone can understand, even if he or she has no memory of K-12 grammar lessons.

Try my explanation of the difference between "lie"and "lay," which also includes a bit of explanation about why so many people confuse those verbs.

I have also been told by *many* readers (including some with advanced degrees in English) that my explanation of when to use the subjunctive mood is the clearest they have ever found.

WARNING: There is a WhiteSmoke tower ad on many of my pages that I have been told registers as malware because of tracking cookies, so if you get a malware warning, don't worry--it is just that one ad. I have been removing that ad bit by bit, but I am super busy during the school year, and I have many hundreds of pages, so the going is slow. As long as you don't click that ad, there is no problem. (Pages that I have removed the WhiteSmoke ads from no longer warn of malware, so I know that ad is the culprit.)
