Grammar, Punctuation & Spelling

Good grammar, punctuation and spelling are non-negotiable when dealing with trained journalists; yet it's an area where many PR practitioners fall down.  This workshop clears up some of the misconceptions around the English language and helps eliminate common errors.

• Punctuation: commas, semi-colons and colons; inverted commas; apostrophes; dashes and hypens
• Capitalisation: e.g. job titles, newspaper titles
• Relative pronouns: which/what/who
• Common mix-ups: e.g. who/whom; I/me
• Rules that can be broken
• Extending your vocabulary: finding alternatives
• Spelling: common errors and how to avoid them
