For today I think the words affect and effect would be very good words to learn about! I always cannot remember which one to use and I have to use them in a sentence in my head before saying them but then I remember that that never works each time. According to APA guidelines I think these words are supposed to be underlined, italicized or in quotation marks but I can’t remember which one right now and it also depends on the year you are using, also I cannot figure out how to do edit anything on this website, so just pretend. And also does anyone remember sentence diagraming in high school? that has to do with the parts of speech and figuring out what the part of speech is in each sentence. I always knew that I would never use that after high school until now..
I remember this English teacher might have been the one who did get her desk turned around in the class room. I think that it was an accident, but she was the one who made us read Shakespeare.
