Are you a grammar nazi. (And I have a question)
Can you use the word also at the end of a sentence? I wouldnt. I would say as well. My DH asked me that yesterday but I couldnt give him a good explanation.
I dont think I am a Nazi Grammar. I speak in Spanglish most of the time but I hate when people confuse advise and advice.
Re: Are you a grammar nazi. (And I have a question)
I don't have an answer to you, but another question. Can someone help me figure out when to use effect and affect in a way that I can remember? I always forget and usually resort to just using a different word all together (or is it altogether)?
Second question... parenthesis. Let's say that you have a parenthesis at the end of the sentence, do you put the end parenthesi in or out of the punctuation point (like this.) or (like this).

affect=verb
effect=noun
And for your second question, I think the second option is the correct one but I could be wrong.
Usually, anyway. Here is a quick article with the exceptions of affect as a noun and effect as a verb: http://crofsblogs.typepad.com/english/2005/08/effect_as_a_ver.html
As well and too go at the end of a sentence.
Also usually goes between subject and verb, not at the end. I think it goes after am, is and are, but before other verbs. Hope that makes sense.
I don't put also at the end of a sentence, I'm sure there's a reason but I can't ever explain grammar (my mom's a huge Grammar person so she's always correcting my emails and whatnot!)

There isn't really a set reason. It's just that different adverbs have different places in a sentence. That's all.
