National Grammar Day

Today is the day to mind your Ps and Qs! It's National Grammar Day! The Society for the Promotion of Good Grammar and MSN Encarta have designated March 4, 2008, as National Grammar Day. It's a great opportunity to get back in touch with your inner Strunk & White.

So what can you do today to celebrate?

• Visit Grammar Girl for a quick refresher course on grammar. I also like to listen to her podcasts on the regular. She answers all the grammar questions you can think of. (And, yes, it's ok to end with a preposition!


• While you're visiting websites, check out this very funny blog about one of my pet peeves: unnecessary quotation marks. The site is aptly named The “Blog” of “Unnecessary” Quotation Marks.


• Go through your local paper for examples of GOOD GRAMMAR and send kudos to the editor. Positive reinforcement!


• Spread the word!
