I use that dictionary, too.
http://www.wsu.edu:8080/~brians/errors/errors.html
This is great for all the little nitpicky issues.
Also, I recommend that everyone read Lynne Truss's Eats, Shoots and Leaves. Great book. Entertaining, too.

Viridian_Moon http://www.wsu.edu:8080/~brians/errors/errors.html This is great for all the little nitpicky issues. Now, that's a useful resource. Though some of it should just be common knowledge.

snapdragon Dictionary (.com) What a wonderful place online forums would be if some people utilized online web dictionaries! In response to Viridian_Moon: I just checked out Eats, Shoots and Leaves from the library the other day. biggrin Hmmm... just a little side note on this site. While it can be very useful, some definitions of older words are incorrect or slightly inaccurate. If the word isn't extremely common, they might not have a very good or clear definition. I had an English paper due and did not recieve credit for one part of the definition segment because my answers (found from dictionary.com) were incorrect, or not exactly accurate.

I had an English paper due and did not recieve credit for one part of the definition segment because my answers (found from dictionary.com) were incorrect, or not exactly accurate. Merriam-Webster is the best online dictionary, IMO. It's annoying how you have to get the unabridged version to get access to the more complex terms, though.
