Grammar Post 1

The grammar issue that I will discuss this week has to do with not using "I" or "me" terms in our writings in class. It's a rule that I've been familiar with since high school english, but I find it sometimes difficult not to include myself and my personal opinions in my papers. It is sometimes difficult for amateur writers to exclude themselves from conversation in our writing because we are so used to talking in this manner. The correct grammar or guideline in our writings should be to make a firm statement without backing it up with our personal take. I'm starting to realize that in making a firm statement as if it is a fact allows the reader to believe the context of your writing more easily. I found an interesting webpage about using firmer statements instead of "I" or "me" to use a more active voice in your writing. The website is http://www.dailywritingtips.com/active-voice/
