Grammar? what's this grammar thingy?
I thought that's what proofreaders was for. I should know I have at least two that work on my books. They is so patient with me.

Why use grammar, if you get the point across, arent you doing your job?

Oops let me go learn a few adverb clauses and toss in some appositives before my next post

The whole reason for grammar IS to help you get the point across. If your sloppy writing makes it harder for the reader to understand what you're trying to say, you're NOT doing your job.

What's been done? What is it exactly you're disagreeing with?

If you're saying that points have been understood in spite of bad grammar, of course, I have to agree. But isn't it better to not torture your reader by making them puzzle over poorly constructed sentences?

After checking on flight prices, though, it looks like going to Paris would be even less practical than I thought. Cheap flights from the US to Paris are hard to find right now. From Indianapolis, where we would go from, the cheapest I could find was almost $1000 round trip. It is around $800, even from JFK which has more flights to Europe than any other airport in the US.

Then you guys'd see what it takes to go through the season, being from Brazil! Those are regular prices for us!

Disney is having Grad Night the last weekend in April and the first 2 weekends in May...that could be part of the problem with getting the championship booked.

No because they had that last year at the same time as the National event and there was no conflict. I remember seeing a ton of charter buses for it on my way to DisneyQuest.
