Ugg.... Grammar killed me

Well I just got back my paper for last week. I got a 73 (and yes I know this is a C and not really that bad). The problem is, my paper content would have gotten an A! I lost 30 points off my grade, and most of them were for comma errors. Anyone good with grammar and want to volunteer to proofread my next paper.

That's a bummer. I am horrible with Grammer so I will NOT offer to proofread your paper.

Heather, I am a whiz at English. If you want to email your paper to me, I will be happy to proof read it for you. I never got anything less than a 95 on anything I wrote

Do you use Word? Seems like mine is always correcting my punctuation!

Spell check and grammar check on Word and other programs only do so much, and sometimes, these programs advise you to do things that are not correct. It's better to have a human (like me ) proofread.
