Happy National Grammar Day 2024!

4 Mar

Move over, Christmas… the *real* most wonderful time of the year is here.

Happy National Grammar Day, everyone!

March forth on March 4th to speak well, write well, and help others do the same! (Mignon Fogarty‘s quote, not mine.) 

National Grammar Day was established in 2008 by Society for the Promotion of Good Grammar founder Martha Brockenbrough because she wanted to help her students with their grammar in a fun and positive way.

Have a great one. Celebrate responsibly!

Spotted in an Austin gift shop. Great sticker, but the description on the price tag’s another story. Please make it stop.

March Forth on March Fourth for National Grammar Day!

4 Mar

Hooray! It’s National Grammar Day! Let your inner nerd out as we pay tribute to good grammar.

National Grammar Day was established in 2008 by Martha Brockenbrough, founder of the Society for the Promotion of Good Grammar (SPOGG), because she wanted to help her students with their grammar in a fun and positive way.

As the National Grammar Day website states, “Language is something to be celebrated, and March 4 is the perfect day to do it. It’s not only a date, it’s an imperative: March forth on March 4 to speak well, write well, and help others do the same!”

Here at Come Correct, every day is National Grammar Day. We love to help you take your writing to the next level. Whenever you need us, march forth and let us know. Contact us here.

Grab a red pen and hunt for errors. Read a grammar haiku. Revisit Strunk & White’s “Elements of Style.” Hug an editor. Take an online grammar quiz.

It’s that time again: National Grammar Day!

Watch those apostrophes. Murder emphasis quotes and passive voice with sheer abandon. Sip a grammartini. Hug an editor. Rescue dangling modifiers. JUST GO CRAZY.
