I am not a writer, nor do I profess to excellent grammar, but I do worry about my ability to effectively communicate in writing, and so looked up the issue, and found this great blog.

I haven't used it myself because as I write it has never sounded or looked right. I also believe it was taught to us in my college creative writing class.
