Said no one ever.
Well, Grammar Girl probably said it some time, but the average person, even most writers, don’t like grammar. For most people, it brings back horrible memories of diagramming sentences in school (hopefully, they don’t teach that any more.)
But grammar is important, and something that we should all learn because good grammar leads to good communication and bad grammar leads to Grandma being eaten.
“Let’s eat, Grandma!” vs. “Let’s eat Grandma!”
Poor grandma her life depends on grammar.
Today is National Grammar Day. Celebrate by listening to the Grammar Girl podcast and promising yourself that you will always use the Oxford comma. It’s also fun to look at memes that have awkward typos.
If you truly want to improve your grammar, which is the point of National Grammar Day, check out Grammarly. This proofreading program has a free and a paid version. It isn’t perfect, and you still need to check your work, but it will point out a lot of errors and give ideas on how to improve your work.
Happy Grammar Day! I made a grammar error in this blog. Let me know if you find it.
