The Grammar Diva Blog - Bites of Grammar and Such

March 4 is National Grammar Day. It was designated in 2008 by Martha Brockenbrough, founder of the Society for the Promotion of Good Grammar.

Years as a teacher, writer, editor, and long-time grammar lover (Latin was my favorite class in high school) paved the way for writing the books I now write.

It’s almost Valentine’s Day, that most loved (by some women) and hated (by some men) and wonderful (sometimes) and disappointing (many times) holiday….definitely loved by greeting card makers, florists, jewelers, and candy shops.

It isn’t until you start researching the topic that you find out just how many words are often (including that one) mispronounced.

Many times we talk about grammar  in terms of writing. This blog post is about speaking. We don’t need to worry about punctuation when we speak, but we do have to worry about grammar—and pronunciation (which we don’t have to worry about when we write).
