A friendly reminders from your English Majors this weekend.
Sentence fragments.

Bad.

Although you might be tempted to go for the gold with a stylistic sentence fragment, we implore you not to.

I was once called to a family disaster to clean up after the entire family had reverted to speaking in nothing but fragments and broken sentences. The Tarzan family barely survived.

Be safe out there.

1. How about problems with singular/plural?
"A" reminders?

How embarassing.
