TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Several university sites maintain grammar references - one that I
particularly like is OWL (Online Writing Lab) at Purdue. The site that Dan
referenced below looks good too. Find one or two of these sites that you
like - find it easy to locate info - agree with their approach to grammar
<g> - and bookmark 'em. I find they come in awfully handy, particularly when
I'm editing a writer who repeats the same non-standards over and over. <g>
HTH!
