"Punctuation? Does it matter, really?"
After
all, you stumble upon bad writings quite often.
Apparently,
horrible writers did well without knowing the difference between their nonsense
and they're nonsense.
How about a quick True or False question?
Even without proper punctuation marks, you can still understand what you wrote.
There's no point in learning punctuation.
And here's the answer: it's TRUE.
Learning punctuation (and taking this course) is useless.
With a catch.
If YOU are the only one reading your work.
But how about your readers?
If
you're writing to:
build your personal brand,
convey a compelling message,
or sell something...
Then your readers would expect to see the same standard in English language, and that's where knowing punctuation will become handy.
Here's what my course offers:
Simple punctuation rules with practice. Do more than just learn the theory. You'll retain the knowledge better, and longer.
Jargon-free course. Most people cringe at hearing dependent and independent clause, conjunctive adverbs, and relative clauses. No, you won't hear those words. Instead, you'll learn simple, straightforward rules such as: put a comma before connecting words, use a semicolon to link a series with tons of commas, and always use the ABCD approach first for hyphens.
Short, bite-sized videos you can easily digest and practice only with a couple of minutes. Learn at your own pace, although I recommend you set aside 20 minutes per day.
If you commit 20 minutes per day, you will finish the course in 6 days. There's a 30-day refund period if you're not satisfied, so there's no risk on your part.
