Grammar is an intense topic. There are so many little areas that are within each other that they all kind of just jumble together. For example, the many applications of semi-colons and colons in sentence structures. As always, I appreciate any refreshers and tips I can receive to improve my writing especially with something like grammar. I feel like I start to concentrate so much on the content of what I'm writing and forget to pay attention to little things. Simply listening to the examples of the semi-colons, parallelism, headge language, commas, sentence structure, and flow reminded me of the possible mistakes I have been making in my writing. It will deifinitely help when looking over the writing projects for the portfolio, especially for me because I hate re-reading my own writing which is where I create dumb grammar mistakes. The semi-colon presentation was extremely educational because to be honest, I've never really used semi-colons in my life. I have always been super intimidated of using them incorrectly that I just would not use them at all. Hopefully, I will be able to use them more often from now on. 

The semi-colon topic reminded me of this comedian who briefly talks about semi-colons in emails, and I thought it was sorta, kinda relatable to me because I pretty much feel that same way about semi-colons. Here is the link if anyone wants to watch it, I just thought it was really funny. 

I hope that I can incorporate all of these presentations in my writing portfolio.
