Grammar Quiz #1, Clauses and Phrases
Dear Nickell,
I have to say this "blogger" site has to be one of the worst methods of internet posting that I have seen. There are many simple text options that are unavailable, such as underlining. Since I am unable to underline a certain part of my assignment it would be like handing in incomplete work to post it here. So, I have made the executive decision to simply email you the assignment titled "Grammar Quiz #1" and "Clauses and Phrases".
Respectfully,
Smith
