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.

This probably isn't the appropriate forum, but I couldn't find any other that seemed to fit. My question is this: To enter the daily giveaway, you have to do several posts. I noticed today that some people are posting identical replies to the BOTD forum and as social media replies (all of these postings are required for the giveaway). Is this allowed? I thought each reply had to be unique? To clarify, I noticed two posts in the BOTD forum that also appeared as responses to the Twitter BOTD. Maybe it is allowed because it is two different sites?

No, this is not allowed, and they will eventually be disqualified. If not before, then when they reach the goal to win, they will not win the money and will be disqualified. Some readers just copy and paste their posts, and I have seen them copy other readers' posts.

Thank you for responding! I didn't think it would be allowed, nor should it be.
