<p>from online research i found that the only class w/ english grammar is a basic class before english 3, which seems tedious to take. is that true? anyone know of a class in which i can work on my grammar at ucla? i just need it for my own good. grammar is useful.</p>
<p>just buy kaplan books or wordsmart equiv of grammar. or just get someone to proofread your stuff . if you think eng3 is bad enough… eng2 is just… yea ok blah.</p>
<p>Read this: Elements of Style, by Strunk and White. Good ****, mme would agree if she read it. She probably has.</p>
<p>Seconded! I have Elements of Style the headboard of my bed. Great book! And Eats, Shoots, and Leaves is a great and humorous one about punctuation. Hooray for adhering to the laws of grammar and punctuation in formal writing!</p>
<p>Karen Elizabeth Gordon’s ‘Well-Tempered Sentence’ and ‘Deluxe Intransitive Vampire’ are both fun and memorable, with lots of examples. Strunk & White is actually a bit inconsistent. The folks over at Language Log refer to it as the ‘Horrid Little Book’.</p>
<p>mrMOO, not only have I read it… I OWN it and not only do I OWN it… I have TWO copies of it… one for my left eye and the other for my right. (That’s what she said.) </p>
<p>SaltyBruin12, I highly doubt you could ‘adhere’ to the laws of grammar and punctuation in ‘formal writing’ seeing how well you write ‘formally’ in your posts. </p>
<p>themovies, I highly doubt that you’ve read it much less own it. Highly doubt it. ‘Horrid little book’? How about ‘horrid little poster’?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>You forgot about your brown eye! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! <3 :*</p>
<p><em>speechless</em></p>
<p><em>slow clap</em></p>

<p>Welcome to the Senior Member Club.</p>
<p>i lol’ed when i read mme’s post</p>
<p>I laughed…</p>
<p>I have some catching up to do, 185 more?</p>
<p>No honest to God in China, I did buy a second copy since I thought I forgot the first. My mom spanked me and called me “Engrish is bad; useless EngLish major; not learN anyThing!” and so I fell into MIC’s arms and we laughed at the Puppet!</p>
<p>Touchy, touchy, Mme-lin. :D</p>
