Good tips, but as a non-native English writer/speaker, I found it a bit hard to understand most of it.
I'll admit I wasn't the best at grammar, but I think I have learned to "hear" what is right or wrong.
My point is that if I'm having trouble understanding, I'm guessing I'm not the only one. Maybe some examples would help? English grammar and syntax differ from my native language, so it's not as easy as "translating" the grammar rules.
Lastly, I guess I could go back to school (but I'm too cool?) or just look it up. But since you wanted to educate the NI community, here's your chance Sparhawk
