Re: A Major in English is the finest Degree [9/?]

I must admit, I think I still am at a high school level when it comes to writing, but I really don't understand the English language despite it being the only language I can speak. So I thank you a lot for helping though! Because I get comma's in reference to stories/short stories confused all the time. With commas at the end of sentences, it may be because I read a lot of older fiction I haven't really seen it used when speaking. I can't name anything off the top of my head as I don't have my Kobo with me but I do know there's a book in my collection with sparesly uses commas and since every English class I've taken recently tells us to STOP USING COMMAS SO MUCH I just try not to. Even though I still do.

But I'll definitely check out the source you mentioned. Like I said before, most of the things I write tend to be essays and transitioning to fiction again is really hard. All of the things you say are really good in helping (Like descriptions... How I forgot about such things.) me get back on track. Don't see it as a bother because rarely these days do I see meaningful critique on stories when help is needed. For those of us coming back, it's very welcome :)

(And to be fair, My University only turned from a college to a Uni 2 years ago, so we're not like the huge classes I've seen described. My largest class is 40 and I can see when you attend a proper State University how my description is like a Community College.)
