with comments. Comments will be colored text intertwined with your
writing. Many are in the form of
Codes
(abbreviations). Codes are a brief way of brining you attention to some
aspect of your writing that works or needs work.
All codes are alphabetically explained in The
Glossary along with examples of how to make
corrections as needed. It is your responsibility to look up
all codes on your work, learn what you did incorrectly and how not
to continue making the same error.
EX: Bob is late RO
Mary is on time.
RO = a code (abbreviation) in this case a code for a "Run On"
sentence.
This is a run on sentence, and the point in the text where I put the
RO indicates where the error occurred.
To learn about this error and how to correct it see:
"codes" in the
Glossary. Scan down to RO, and learn what the error is and how to correct it for
future writing
