Interesting! A video course? How neat. That's something I should look at. I need more help with weird punctuation quirks and varying sentences. Thanks!

Yes, this is good for those of us who use English in our lives in one capacity or another. However, I fear it won't completely stop those little punctuation errors that sometimes plague us. Thanks!

"There were no true grammatical issues", that's great to read for a true English grammar book :-). I could definitely benefit from this book as I get told off now and then for my inconsistent comma use. Thanks for an interesting review.
