Google Is Your Friend

My favorite online writing site is “Google,” I know that this is the simplest and cheating answer.  I use “Google” because I can just google my question. Then I can find a site that will give me an answer that I understand.  Sometimes a specific site will give you the information in a way that you don’t understand. So you have to leave the site to find a site that will give you the information in a way you understand.  Sometimes if you use the same resource repeatedly, you aren’t getting new information. 

This is how I am used to finding answers for coding.  You might have to look at multiple sites to piece together the answer or information you need.

I have used the “Purdue OWL” on occasion, but that is because “Google” gave it to me.  It does have good information and has helped me with some questions. 

The editing mistakes I found this week.

Mistake #1

Website: Gizmodo.com
Article: “Argentina Is Using Drones to Hunt Down Tax-Evading Mansions”
Mistake: They have the word “sent” twice.


Mistake #2

From the Dangling Modifiers and Parallelism assignment question 4.
Mistake: She didn’t capitalize “the” in “The Who.”  The bands name is “The Who,” not “Who.”

4. Watching the “Woodstock” movie, Carlos Santa, Jimi Hendrix and the Who impressed her the most.

  1. I love that you selected Google as your site! I use Google all the time, but I never viewed it as more than a middle-man when in reality it actually gives the answers to my questions most of the time. The web site search is helpful, but i've noticed when I look up grammatical questions, I don't even need to go to a separate page because it puts the answer at the top of the page inside a little box.
