I’m not a grammar expert, but I strongly believe in avoiding the avoidable mistakes. Here are a few that I regularly see in fishing magazines, websites and blogs that make me think the writer is either unschooled, uncaring or an idiot.

I never imagined that Pete and I would develop a fishing and travel website together. The idea of working with your spouse is scary enough, but writing is his world, not mine. I avoid it like the plague. I didn’t know if we’d run out of things to write about. Would anyone be interested in what we had to say?  And it didn’t seem helpful that we started it two weeks before an unforeseen pandemic hit.
