In case anyone cares, I finished my DeLorean story and it's up on my site.

Did you already turn this in? It could use a few grammar corrections.

Yes I did, but the one on the site differs from the one I turned in.  But what specifically are you talking about?

Mostly punctuation, nothing significant. What's the difference between the posted story and the one you submitted for school?

Well, I took out a paragraph or two that she made us put in about why we chose that topic.  Also, before I printed it I changed a few words and stuff.  I knew there were punctuation errors and typos because there is no spell check or anything on Yahoo! PageBuilder.  I'll go through and try to fix things.

Not important for the site, but if you were turning it in you'd probably want it a little more polished.

On a paper being turned in for a grade, commas matter. On the site, they really don't, and it isn't worth the effort to go through and add them just for the site.

Grammar errors or not, it's still really good! Good job!

Thanks, and iffy, I see your point, I think.  But I already turned it in, I'll just have to wait for results.  If there's any specific thing that might need to be changed (anywhere on the site for that matter), feel free to tell me.

Maybe your teacher will be in a good mood, and over look punctuation and grammar in a few places for content. (Unlikely, but even if he/she doesn't over look it, grammar is never weighted as high as content. I'm sure you'll do fine)

I know I'll do fine, I'm not worried about it.  The teachers don't look for that stuff too much, we've never covered it too much (or if we have nobody remembers).

And they don't require good grammar and punctuation. Amazing.

Yeah, same here.  But if I don't get points off then that's fine by me, they can ignore as much as they want.

True, and point taken.

Anyone hear the news? John DeLorean just died, at age 80.

No, I hadn't heard that yet. That's too bad.
