Thank you for this concise lesson. It drives me nutty when people use I when it should be me. A huge bugger for me! I struggle with proper use of the reflexive pronouns. Sometimes, they just don’t feel right. I usually rewrite at that point.

Thank you, I will be storing this article where I can reference it easily.

I'd love to help out as an early reader. What do I need to do?

(Oh, and if you don't mind my saying so, it should be, "sneak peek." :D)

I tend to read my work aloud and listen for errors. I catch many this way. I also need an editor, but try to find as many as errors as possible. A good critique group is invaluable.

I look forward to reading part two!

Amber- tell me a little more of what you mean about affecting the writer? I think I know but I want to be sure!
