Newest Squidoo lens looks at ‘Idiotic mistakes in English grammar, usage’

By Gary, November 19, 2008

Here’s my newest writing lens at Squidoo.com, “Idiotic mistakes in English grammar, usage.”

Several of the “rants” or “pet peeves” which I discuss in that lens are matters we’ve discussed here. But go take a look. As long as we writers continue to make such idiotic mistakes in English grammar and usage, I’ll continue my rants.

Seriously, give the new lens a look. If you like what you see, show me a little “lens love” by using Squidoo’s star rating system at the top of the page. Then come back and leave a comment here. I’d love to get your feedback on the lens — including any suggestions you would have on errors/mistakes I need to add.

Take a look at my newest Squidoo lens — I just finished it

By Gary, November 11, 2008

Okay, friendly readers, I posted here last week about getting back to Squidoo.com to create a new “lens” — one of their quaint terms for what the rest of us would call a “web page.”

Gotta love Squidoo. The more I hang around there, the more I get hooked. It really is addictive to see all the tons of lenses on every subject you could imagine — and many more you could probably never imagine. What a fun place for writers.

I invite you to take a look at my newest lens, “Shop for Gifts Online to Ease Holiday Shopping Stress.” The first Squidoo lens I ever made was in June 2007. I’ve only made a total of three now, and there was a gap of more than a year between lens 2 and lens 3, so I’m pretty “rusty” at it, more than a little awkward at picking my way through the many, many modules available.

But I’m going to get better at it. I invite you to join me in the process!
