Bullshattuck Is Wishing You a Happy Grammar Day

According to Mental Floss, today are National Grammar Day! I never knowed that the Society for the Promotion of Good Grammar even existed - let alone have their own National Grammar Day - so I'm going out to celebrate!

How does somebody celebrates National Grammar Day, you may be asking? Their website have a few suggestions:

How can I participate?

Speak well! Write well! And on March 4, march forth and spread the word. If you see a sign with a catastrophic apostrophe, send a kind note to the storekeeper. If your local newscaster says "Between you and I," set him straight with a friendly e-mail.

You might also enjoy the SPOGG Awards, which will be given annually to the city and celebrity most guilty of grammar and language offenses. This year, Columbia, S.C. and President George W. Bush took top honors. Read more here.

Some of our members are planning Good-Grammar Potlucks at their offices. What do you serve at good-grammar potlucks? High-fiber foods, of course. They're good for the colon. Afterward, at happy hour, we recommend the Grammartini. planning Good-Grammar Potlucks at their offices. What do you serve at good-grammar potlucks? High-fiber foods, of course.

As for me, I'm celebrating by:

*Learns the difference between "two," "to" and "too!"

*Buy a bunches of red pens!

*Stops using semicolons; so often!

*Don't uses "that" when "which" would works as well!

*Call my old English AP teacher Mrs. Gaylord and tells her I always hated sentence diagrams!

*Wash it all down with a Grammartini!
