Shout-out to National Grammar Day tomorrow!

Tomorrow is March 4th, the only day that is both a date AND an imperative - but more importantly, it is the only national holiday (seriously! look it up!) that was coined by our very own rgz media specialist Martha Brockenbrough, the grammar genius behind THINGS THAT MAKE US [SIC] (illustrated by friend Jaime Temairik). It's National Grammar Day!

And if that isn't a reason to march forth and pick up a hilarious look at the English language (and toast fabulous friends), I don't know what is.

You can also join The Society for the Promotion of Good Grammar, friend them on Facebook or follow the blog.

Go on, march!

March Forth on National Grammar Day

National Grammar Day, created by the ineffable and brilliant grammarian Martha Brockenbrough of The Society for The Promotion of Good Grammar (SPOGG) and author of Things that Make Us [Sic], is celebrating its second year!

Celebrate with grammartinis, punctuation puns, grammar potlucks - or just visit the official National Grammar Day site and see the lineup of participating blogs, Top 10 Grammar Tips, and the Bad Grammar Hall of Fame playlist (including "Lay Lady Lay," naturally). Speaking of punctuation personality profiles, here is mine from Martha's book launch party:


Happy National Grammar Day, everyone!
