    @Gina Carroll: I can’t see anything wrong with the English in the opening paragraph.
    And by the way, you should really spell check your comments before you send them. Especially when criticising other people.
    You have a great day now.

    @Karl Lyons: In the heading there is no full stop after days.
    In the first paragraph the first 3 words are all capitalised.

    @Karl Lyons: I would have grave concerns over the use of the word “Especially” at the beginning of a sentence. It is certainly not acceptable in formal or academic writing. There should also be no space before a comma. The only ending punctuation mark that sometimes needs to be preceded by a space is a dash.

    @David Connell: A heading doesn’t need a full stop as it’s a heading.
    And the capitalisation at the start of a paragraph is to emphasise or signal the beginning of an article for the reader.

    @Kevin Arnold: You should look bit closer and you’ll see that there is no space before the comma. It just seems that way because of the letter y.
    Hands up to my grammatical error with the word especially.

    @David Connell: It’s a heading and fullstops don’t tend to be used in headings. The capitalization of the first 3 words tends to be a standard in many newspaper articles and book chapters if you ever pick them up.
