It’s finally done. The conversion from Wiki to WordPress. This new site features a move to a category-based organization, so we can quickly add new material (such as scripts, articles, features, and more).

The Ah -Counter / Grammarian is an important role. As Ah-Counter/Grammarian, you’ll be directly helping other club members become more aware of “filler words”, incorrect grammar, and other such things that may detract from a presentation.

You can modify this according to your specific needs, or use this as a basis for your own scripts.
