List 4 Different Topics

1. Brackets: After reading about Brackets I learned so much about this topic that I had never knew before. I chose this topic simply because before reading this i had zero knowledge of the topic or how to use different brackets and just brackets in general in my writing. One thing i learned from this topic is that square brackets are used to emphasize phrases in direct quotations.  http://grammar.ccc.commnet.edu/grammar/marks/bracket.htm
2. BuzzWords: I didn't even know that this topic even existed and it really caught my interest to read and learn about it. Buzzwords are basically another way of a cliche and both are often associated with each other. These word's are also used because they don't have any specific meaning. http://literaryterms.net/buzzword/
3. Colon: This topic caught my attention immediately because I am a bad writer and struggle with punctuation all the time. One of my main punctuation problems is with colons because i simple just don't understand when to use them. After reading about the topic it really helped me to understand how colons work and when to use them. http://grammar.ccc.commnet.edu/grammar/marks/colon.htm
4. Commonly Confused Words Affect, Effect: These are most confusing words to understand in my mind and every time i write a paper i never know which one word to use. Glad that after reading about the two words i can understand the difference. Affect is to influence and effect is the result of some influence. http://grammarist.com/usage/affect-effect/
