American English guide

Some grammar rules (and embarrassing mistakes!) transcend the uniqueness of different regions and style guides. This new International Grammar section by OnlineBookClub.org ultimately identifies those rules thus providing a simple, flexible rule-set, respecting the differences between regions and style guides. You can feel free to ask general questions about spelling and grammar. You can also provide example sentences for other members to proofread and inform you of any grammar mistakes.

American English guide

Post by Thomas Cudbertson »

Hi,

I seem to be losing points for grammar issues. I think this may be because I am in the UK and British English is grammatically different to American English.

Can anyone point me to useful resources on American English so I can familiarise myself with it?

Thank you.

You should not be losing points for using British English. You should ask for a recheck. You must cite a reputable source to support your claim.
