Improving my English

Tonight I have decided to go on a crusade to improve my English skills. More specifically my grammar. Some of you may ask why Paul? Your English skills seem perfectly fine to me.

Recently the necessity to have good English skills has become clear to me. I read so many blogs, social networks even some news posts with spelling and grammatical errors, some spelling really is appalling! It really seems you are able to tell a lot about a person from their English skills.

For me it's not knowing all of the finer details, it's finally got to me! There, their. The correct use of commas, semicolons and apostrophes. What is a verb, noun, adverb, adjective, pronoun consonant or vowel. Let's throw in irregular plurals for good measure!

I will try and blog some more about how this push is going in the coming weeks. It has bothered me from time to time. However recently it has been pointed out to me more and more, finally the decision to improve has been taken!
