Good paper. It included evidence and details, as well as examples. Make sure you inform the reader where you got your info. from.

Solid Information

This page has the information ready and waiting to be plucked, and it is minimal in error. I want to first commend you on terrific work. Then I want to point out: while you denoted topic change almost perfectly; you could have brought out the "To avoid"s as minor headings, The Rules as a major heading, and capitalize "semicolons" and "commas" under "The Usage". These suggestions are more for uniformity and aesthetic value.

The repetition under "To avoid unnecessary commas" could have been avoided if you put: "do not" in what should be the sub heading. Your OWL source: "Using Commas," link needs fixing as well.


Your essay was informative and I enjoyed reading it but I would of liked to see more examples of the proper and improper usage of commas and semicolons. I think they would be helpful.
