Happy National Grammar Day!

What extinct animal knew a lot of words? A thesaurus! 😉

Founder of the Society for the Promotion of Good Grammar, Martha Brockenbrough created National Grammar Day in 2008.

The English language has over a million words. Our language has some set rules and also has some debatable rules in it as well.  We have a holiday to celebrate this sometimes crazy grammar.

How can you celebrate this holiday?  Use proper grammar today. Purchase a style guide or grammar resource today. Learn a few words in another language. Or play Wordle! 🙂

Enjoy your words and Happy National Grammar Day!
