WID invites you to a virtual, hands-on, comma throw-down!
Grammar guru, Barbara Kancelbaum, will answer your questions:
Why does Word want me to change “which” to “that”?
What’s the difference between “i.e.” and “e.g.”?
Do I need a comma? Can I use a hyphen?
Does a question mark go inside the quotation marks?
Click here to submit your own grammar and writing questions in advance!
This grammar and writing workshop is designed for development professionals who want to proofread, edit, and polish their writing to better engage their audiences. Open a donor letter or your latest newsletter, and let’s get to work!
