Today is indeed March 4th or as Mignon Fogarty says in her tribute to grammar "March Forth." You can watch the March Forth video here:
National Grammar Day was started by Martha Brockenbrough, in 2008 so this is the 10-year anniversary of National Grammar Day! Martha is the founder of the Society for the Promotion of Good Grammar.
This snappy song emphasizes good grammar and parts of speech. Any word nerd worth their salt can appreciate a day dedicated to good grammar.
As I read once, to celebrate National Grammar Day we should eat beans because they're good for the colon.
If you'd like to take a grammar quiz and see how you do, here you go! Let us know in the comments please!
Word nerds the world over have a day to point out poor grammar and punctuation. Today!
Here are a few of the mistakes in grammar, etc., that I love to hate:
Making plurals possessive. (Example: All of the RSVP's came in the mail today. NO! RSVPs is plural, not possessive. NO APOSTROPHE NEEDED!)
Using seen when you mean saw. (Example: I seen her coming a mile away. No, You saw her coming a mile away.)
Using the entirely wrong word. (Example: Mary: Thank you for helping out today. Bill: Your welcome. NO, H#&@ NO, Bill! It's you're welcome.)
I am!
