Would someone write an English punctuation hub or recommend some articles for me?
I have had trouble all my life when it comes to writing an article using the proper punctuation.
Go to writersdigest.com, and look into their writer's workshop dealing with grammar. It will also help you with essays and articles.
They are great in my opinion. I took the course several years ago.
Now, they are online, and that is way better for students.
Hope this is very helpful.

Hope it helps.
I really like all the punctuation articles by hubber htodd who is a professional editor. A general punctuation one from her which might be the most helpful for you is: http://hubpages.com/hub/How-to-Perfect-Your-Punctuation
it also contains links to some of her more detailed hubs dealing with each type of punctuation individually, so you'll be able to get exactly what you need.
Try following the link below. It'll take you to a site/free online resource, that has everything you need to know. It 's amazing.
I would recommend adding it as a button on your browser's carousel

I see there are some smart answers already, let me add my $0.02 anyway.
I would recommend "Eats, Shoots & Leaves: The Zero Tolerance Approach to Punctuation" by Lynne Truss. The paperback's available via Amazon from $1.25.

Lynne Truss is witty, easy to read, and she certainly knows a thing or two about English grammar.

Does bad grammar and spelling bother you?I don't expect everyone to be an English professor, but for goodness sake people, use some punctuation and a built in spell-check! This is primarily aimed at forums, hubs, and places like YouTube comments. Places where people could take the time to read over...

As a writer, do you use commas, here, and there. Or do you use commas, here and not there?I make a living online as a writer, and I believe that writers have to use good judgement sometimes in punctuation, but I have conflicting editors that believe that commas should be used after the first word,...

Why don't people check their spelling and grammar when they write and publish their Hubs?It is understandable when the person is not a native English speaker, but when the author is a native English speaker with some amount of education, it is quite sad.

What are some common grammar/usage errors that drive you nuts every time you see them?

I got accepted to a few websites that I can now write articles for. One of those places is Constant Content. Thankfully, I got approved after taking a short grammar test and submitting a 250 word sample (which IMO is short). Quite frankly, I was scared I got one of questions wrong because I said...

Does anyone ever check the English composition of our Hubs for good grammar, correct word usage,...and the spelling of words. I just read a Hub by a new chum. No names no court martials. The writer rated 91 on this Hub which, quite frankly, I thought was certainly...
