Weekly writing coach: Read comics to improve your writing

Okay, I lied: Not comics as in those from many publishers. Just comics from The Oatmeal, a popular website by Matthew Inman. If you've wondered why the writing coach hasn't written about the following topics in grammar, spelling and punctuation, it's because I can't possibly top these comics:

• When to use i.e. in a sentence, instead of e.g.
• How to use a semicolon
• Ten words you need to stop misspelling
• How to use an apostrophe

The grammar comics are available in poster form and The Oatmeal just made a four-pack of the grammar posters available.  For more fun, check out this video of Inman giving an Ignite! talk about The Oatmeal:
