What's your pet grammar peeve? That one rule you learned but everyone else still gets wrong?

#WritingCommunity #writing #AmWriting #reading #books

so “T-Rex” isn’t just some pop culture shortening of Tyrannosaurus rex, it's actually a standard way of shortening the genus in a binomial, e.g. E. coli for Escherichia coli. Despite what movie titles or toy packaging or band names say, it should always be written as T. rex and not as T-Rex or T-rex or god forbid T. Rex. And it should be italicized, which should be clear to anyone reading this but not clear to you, Corythosaurus, because I am speaking aloud to you and I don’t know how to italicize my voice.
