Queen’s University Style Guide

I downloaded the Queen’s University Style Guide a couple of years ago and generally share it with my class.  It’s a PDF document that helps students with lots of the little grammatical problems that can sometimes trip them up. Things like this:

affect/effect Often confused. Affect is a verb, effect normally a noun. Your decision will affect me. This is the effect it has had on me. To effect change.

You can download the Style Guide from the Queen’s University site or from Queen’s%20Style%20Guide
