  2. "Say you are hiking in the wilderness and you figure out that you are somewhat lost, that happens fairly often and it is a good time to use that cell phone."

  3. The following sentence is a run on sentence:

    I think cell phones should be permitted anywhere because emergencies do often happen, if someone needs food, water or any other necessities, and if anyone gets lost hiking or jogging on an unfamiliar road they can just call someone for help.

    This sentence would be better if the sentence was broken up into sentences. For example:

    I think cell phones should be permitted anywhere because emergencies do often happen. In case of an emergency, if someone gets lost hiking or jogging on an unfamiliar road they can just call someone for help. What if someone needs food, water or any other necessities? Thats why i think cell phones should be allowed anywhere.

  36. Grammer ID with Nghi

    All accross the countries teens, young adults and adults drink alcohol excessivly in groups. Having a license would make it more difficult to obtain the liquor and allow others to become more aware of what they're putting into their bodies.

    Spelling errors aside... The second sentences has no subject. Sure, the intent was to use the first sentence's subject, then the punctuation should've been a semi-colon rather than a period. More commas should be used within that sentence to separate thoughts more distinctively.

    Should I go over spelling errors?... Screw it. Across and excessively is wrong, 'tis all.
