Kylee Gwartney - Writing Challenges

Let's face it - the English language is both wonderful and very obnoxious. It contains hundreds upon hundreds of rules that no one wants to know. High school prepared me for every type of academic paper possible, but failed to teach me about the "Holy Bibles" of grammar (of course I mean AP Style and Arnold.) The main cause of my troubles is with who and whom. I've accepted the fact that I will never use them correctly. In my mind the only difference between them is if you want to sound like a 75 -year-old British snob or not. Honestly, whom is practically dead to the English language and we need to accept it. Aside from that, I'm confident that I can master the rest of the rules being thrown at me this semester. I need to remind myself that I'm taking this class because I love to write and truly want to be the best that I can.
