    Listen to BF1-

    He proof reads papers for a living.




    You have a choice, BOA. Get upset when people point out the 500 mistakes, or learn from it. "It's readable" is a long way from "It will pass" .

    In all honesty, and not to be mean, your grammar skills should be better than that in 10th grade though I found a lot fewer errors in the second version than I did the first. That shows you're making noticeable improvements. You did do a good job with the research though

    Yeah...but you want to always strive to do the best. Don't settle for a 73...work on earning that 93 or better.

    BOA, I could go through your revision and still find bunches of errors grammatically and spelling-wise, but I won't - would take too long. Your summations are ok, but you should maybe check out the new studies on second-hand smoke.

    Ummmm, can't resist - check out your first sentence. I think you mean "Smoking cigarettes IS bad for you..." not "are" bad for you. :)

    poor BOA!

    Smoking doesn't lead to other drugs...people do.
    I didn't come here to fight, I hate fighting. Life is way too short to spend it on fighting! Go fight with yourself, one of you will eventually win!

    Hey BOA, I just had my 11th grade daughter read this. Here's what she had to say.

    1. It's too repetitive, and you have at least 10 sentences that start with the word 'smoking'.
    2. Grammar & spelling are part of EVERY rubric.
    3. You combined facts & opinions, where the latter should only be in your argument.
    4. Agree's that it'll only get you a low B or C grade.
