Although English is one of the most complex and confusing languages on earth, it is possible to learn enough of the basics to understand most any sentence.

		<description><![CDATA[One of the most common problems in the English language is the use of contractions. They are supposed to make life a little easier, but it seems that they don&#8217;t do much more than confuse. The case of your vs. you&#8217;re is a classic example.

Luckily for you, this diction problem is a pet peeve of mine.

		<description><![CDATA[The colon is a very useful punctuation mark. It most often is used to replace the word &#8220;because.&#8221; In technical terms, the colon is used between independent clauses when the second is an explanation for the first.

When we start the explanation with &#8220;because,&#8221; we&#8217;re doing the same thing. In fact, Merriam Webster uses the word &#8220;reason&#8221; to define &#8220;because.&#8221; So why do we often start our explanations [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=mywritinghelp.wordpress.com&amp;blog=4407658&amp;post=262&amp;subd=mywritinghelp&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
