		<title>Tuesday Tutoring Tip for March 9, 2010</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Carefully consider constructions containing clauses connected by commas; this kind of creation can commonly be considered contraband or criminal.  The comma splice is a notoriously frequent error. Avoid comma splices by using a semicolon instead of a comma after an independent clause like “Betty spent the afternoon on the golf course; the kids were at [...]]]></description>

		<title>Tuesday Tutoring Tip for February 23, 2010</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Alas, assembling all right as alright at times appears all right; although always avoiding alright altogether actually attains accuracy.  This error is so widespread that it is even commonly accepted in informal communications, but, in formal English writing, alright is wrong.  The one-word spelling probably originated as an attempt to parallel altogether and already. The [...]]]></description>

		<title>Tuesday Tutoring Tip for February 16, 2010</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Maybe mettle is manufactured; my marvelous metal mending machine meddled with many men’s mogul medals.  The four italicized words sound alike, but have very different meanings.  People prove their mettle, usually in combat or a sporting event, by displaying great strength, courage, or stamina. To meddle is to interfere.  Medals are won [...]]]></description>

		<title>Library or Learning Center</title>
		<description><![CDATA[What is that in the middle of campus?  Is it a Library or a Learning Center?  Last year a marketing survey revealed that many people on campus are confused.  The recommendation:  &#8216;brand&#8217; recognition would be enhanced by abandoning the  label &#8216;learning center&#8217; and instead re-embracing the term &#8216;library&#8217;.  But the term &#8216;learning center&#8217; was adopted [...]]]></description>

		<title>Tuesday Tutoring Tip for February 2, 2010</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Although the audio is acceptable, avoid arbitrary application of all ready and already in any academic activity, article, or argument. Already pertains to a timeframe.  Josephine already has Super Bowl tickets.  All ready is a two-word phrase meaning completely prepared.  Despite already having Super Bowl tickets, Josephine is pretty far from being [...]]]></description>

		<title>Tuesday Tutoring Tip for January 26, 2010</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Traffic tragedy triggers terribly tardy Tuesday Tutoring Tip.  This writer was involved in a minor car accident (no one hurt) Tuesday, which delayed the release of this email.  This late tip involves three words that sound alike, but are often confused: assure, ensure, and insure. If you assure a person of something, you [...]]]></description>

		<title>Tuesday Tutoring Tip for January 19</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Definitely don’t defiantly depend on data drawn from “dumb” software; do the due diligence and discover the disadvantages.  Remember, spell check supplies correct spellings, not necessarily words that make sense in a sentence. For example, if a mispeller spells definitely, “definantly,” Microsoft Word’s spell check offers “defiantly” as the only option to correct the [...]]]></description>
