That's actually really helpful; I may use that in my writing center
work next year for my graduate assistantship because I'm going to grad
school with a scholarship for an English M.A.! *celebrates*
I didn't learn about FANBOYS until my junior year of college in my
Applied Grammar class, but I felt like I'd just found enlightenment
when my teacher explained them. It's so much easier to talk to students
about "the FANBOYS rule" rather than "the coordinating conjunctions
between two or more sentences" rule. It just seems friendlier somehow.
