Stationery has the "e-r" as do letter and paper.

Capitol has a dome-the "o" is in both words

Hi, All!

These "silly" tips are wonderful to me!  Thanks to all of
you who shared yours with me and this list.  Again, if you
have any great ideas for teaching grammar and/or punctuation
rules beyond usage issues, I'd appreciate seeing those as
well.

One punctuation pointer I use to help my adult learners
master the semicolon in a compound sentence is to view it as
a two-part punctuation mark:

1.  The comma below indicates the pause writers want readers
to be aware of for properly placed commas

2.  The "dot" above can be viewed as a period that could be
used instead if the compound sentence formed were separated
into two simple sentences instead.

That works for them.

Do you all have any other ideas like that to share--silly or
otherwise?

Thanks!

Linda Comerford
