Last year, I was reading some of my classmates' work, and I was disappointed. Not disappointed solely by poor vocabulary and terrible sentence structure, but by their failure to conform to the possibly simplest grammar rule ever: Capitalize the beginnings of your sentences, as well as proper nouns.
Incorrect: we went to the store.
Correct: We went to the store.
Incorrect: After they went to the store, i made cookies.
Correct: After they went to the store, I made cookies.
Proper nouns: The word "I" and names (of people, specific places, countries, days, months, etc.).
Proper nouns are capitalized, as well as the beginning of a sentence.
Just to be clear, a noun is a person, place, or thing.
Couldn't even find a cute comic to put here, because only small children are still learning this rule, and small children don't understand grammar humor.
