Don't have much time to write today, but I want to make a point about grammar. Especially when you're writing content in public forums. If you want people to take you seriously you really have to be able to write well.
Alright, I'm not an author and my writing isn't the greatest, but I do know when to use "your", "you're", "their", and "there" in their proper contexts. I also understand there are many for whom English is not a first language and I sympthasize. To this day, I'm still learning the rules and the exceptions.
Maybe it's best to showcase their use through some examples.
If you own a book to learn great pick up lines, it's your book.
If you use bad pick up lines, you're going to get slapped.
You spot someone over there by the bar to try a good pick up line on.
If two authors wrote the book, it is their book.
Know when to move on or they're going to be annoyed.
Anyway, just some good things to remember. I may write some more on "its" vs. "it's", "hear" vs. "here", "whether" vs. "weather". Feel free to write some words you would like to see examples for.

You actually powered up your computer,logged on and sat and wrote to correct people's grammar on a website focussed on cutting emissions? How long was your computer turned on?
@bod1969: It doesn't say anywhere on this blog that this is a website focused on cutting emissions.
Besides, I seriously doubt this blogger logged on to write a short piece on grammar and then logged off. More likely it was an additional piece of work to other work already being done online.
Originally this blog was supposed to be geared towards a multitude of things. But, my last two posts helped me realize that I will take it green. So, I will do my best to post about green concepts going forward.
