National Grammar Day

Today, March 4th, is National Grammar Day. Are you a grammar snob? I'm right there with you! Well, maybe not to the point of snobbery, but it does drive me a bit nuts when I see certain errors, e.g., 12 a.m. when it should be 12 p.m. or loose when it should be lose. Oh man, I am a grammar snob!

There's a great book titled, Eats, Shoots & Leaves: The Zero Tolerance Approach to Punctuation. Ah, what a difference a comma can make!

There's even a grammar gang, if you will; the Society for the Promotion of Good Grammar, or SPOGG, has a book of their own titled, Things That Make Us [Sic].

You can peruse the Top 10 Grammar Tips and have a grammatical day! Here are ten more ways to improve your grammar. There is some controversy about using the word 'hopefully' to begin a sentence. What do you think?
