Grammatical Aid and Peer Review
I thought it would be interesting to include a section on the site where you could have your paper’s reviewed by your peers on this site. I’m suggesting this due to the lack of members over the age of 20, and figured the best way for the youngin’s to learn more on how to speak and spell would be to have them post their work that we can review for them to help them improve their reading and writing skills. This would help them as individual’s and can practically eliminate the whole “I can’t be a part of this site because I have to focus on my school work” as we are now motivating you to do the work in order to be critiqued before handing it in, and it will also limit the amount of academic stupidity this site surely contains. So now more poor writing!
Let me know what you think to have peer revision. Ultimately, anyone can review your work once you post it, but it’s up to you as to who you take the true advice from. Keep in mind a few members are either working towards or have their degrees in post-secondary and are likely a bit more detailed and precise than a grade 7 student telling you not to start a sentence with a coordinate conjuction.

. So that being said, even if everyone hates this suggestion (which they shouldn't - its solid) you can always PM me and get in touch for essay help or paper editing, or anything like that. Eventually I do plan to teach, so its all good stuff.
