"It was a liberal who lied to the American public."

Here is a growing collection of writing tips, which will be organized in time for the Persuasive Writing course that begins January 26, 2012. (Signups are welcome [[Writing sign-ups|here]].)

*When referring to people, use "who" rather than "that" or "which". Example usage:
:*Wrong: "It was a liberal that lied to the American public."
:*Right: "It was a liberal '''''who''''' lied to the American public."

*When using the word that means "let go" or "give up," do not confuse the prefix "fore" (with an "e") with "for". Example usage:
:*Wrong: "Do not forego an opportunity to correct a Democrat's twisted self-centered view of the world."
:*Right: "Do not '''''forgo''''' an opportunity to correct a Democrat's self-centered view of the world."

*When using the possessive "its", do not include an apostrophe:
:*Wrong: "The dog carried it's bone to the back yard."
:*Right: "The dog carried its bone to the back yard."
