Yesterday we were filled with the joy that only saints, narcissists, and writers trying desperately to improve their karma can know thanks to Part 1 of Grammarcheck.Net’s infographic about confusing grammar.

TVWriter™ Contributing Editor Kelly Jo Brick has taken a break from our e-pages to write for FinalDraft.Com, but that doesn’t mean y’all have to miss her because linking, you know? So here’s the latest from our favorite award winning screenwriter, documentarian, blogger, you-name-it:
