Hi, Anne-- The list is a combination of my own "rules" heard from my students and some from the following website: http://www.comerfordconsulting.com/grammartest.html I am sure there are others which we could add. Craig Hancock, Herb Stahlke, and Richard Veit have already done so. The elementary school teachers whom I am working with this summer were astounded by the list because most of the "rules" are what they themselves believed and taught. Peter Adams' analogy that these so-called rules are like "training wheels" hit a resonant chord with the teachers. The question discussed among them next was "When do we take the wheels off?"
