We almost forgot to mention that March 4th is “National Grammar Day.†Here's how we're celebrating:
–We're biting our tongues when someone uses a word incorrectly.
–We're writing letters to the editor about “enormity†and “irregardless†but we're deleting them before sending.
–We're trying to answer all 2000 messages in our email box. There would be more in there, but messages over 2000 are automatically archived. We love how prolific you are, dear listeners, but we could do a program every day with the material you suggest. Keep it coming!
See how dozens of other organizations are celebrating it here:

John McIntyre, copy editor for the Baltimore Sun, has written charming fiction about National Grammar Day. There are three parts so far:
