Errors

I believe that “errors” is a very touchy subject. Throughout my whole life, I have had many different teachers and each teacher has their own style of what they think is correct. In reality, everyone has his or her own opinions on what is an error and what is not an error. Depending on how you learned, what was right and wrong can directly affect your judgment on what may be considered an error. I think that we try to conform, make claims that something is error free, and have a general idea of correct grammar. I personally believe that there is no right or wrong when dealing with grammar, as I believe it is subject to your opinion.

I think it is interesting how people can be so concerned with another person’s grammar to the point where they will pick little things out and analyze how they use grammar in different situations. I feel like in my writing I may not have the best grammar to some people, but others find it to be grammatically correct and flow. I have had to establish my writing style for many teachers and each of my teachers or professors seem to comment on everything a little differently. As I try to adapt my style to one professors liking, a different professor will not like it. Therefore, it is an ongoing battle, trying to figure out which words to use in what way and how things could fit together better. Ultimately, I believe that writing and grammar is always up for interpretation depending on the reader.
