Grammar Girl to the Rescue

A generation of American kids learned its grammar from Saturday morning cartoons. School House Rock sung out the rules on adverbs, conjunctions and interjections.

Today, we have the grammar girl podcast. Mignon Fogarty created Grammar Girl and the Quick and Dirty Tips network to address grammar questions she encountered while working as a copy editor. In the age of texting, email, Twitter and blogging, the craft of writing is mutating and good grammar is going the way of the abacus.

Mignon’s newest book, The Grammar Devotional, is a collection of daily tips for polished writing that will stand out like a jewel among the slurry of 140-character tweets. Mignon Fogarty joins us now with more on our evolving language.
