I want to take you all back to English class, remember the daily exercises where you had a sentence and had to edit it? I was wondering if there is a good place on the internet with those type of exercises. Sometimes I look at my own writing and think my grammar is not good for someone who wants to be a writer. I think when did you fall asleep in English class, which is crazy I survived for years of Newspaper and college without flunking out for bad grammar. (Seriously the only paper I got below a 93% on was a paper about a math formula and I still have no idea how to write that). I've read Strunk and White so much I had to order a new copy, but I think exercises would be better.

Thanks!

I really don't know, but i'd love to hear if someone does know of something like this.

Most of my grammar is self taught, and most of it i picked up just by reading a lot. I'd say in general, my grammar is very good, but occasionally i run across something that i just don't know (some more difficult split infinitives, for example).
But also critiquing other people's work will definitely help to make your own writing better.
