Yes, it’s really a thing. March 4th is National Grammar Day in the U.S. It was established in 2008 by Martha Brockenbrough, founder of the Society for the Promotion of Good Grammar (SPOGG) and a bit of a hottie. Why not celebrate by making sure your sentences are grammatically correct? Use the preferred or prescribed features of our language when speaking or writing, i.e., “the rules.” So it’s “I don’t know anything about grammar” and not “I don’t know nothing about grammar.”
And by the way, while writing “Its not my problem,” “Your my favorite,” or “Their having fun,” certainly shows a lack of good spelling, they are all grammatically correct sentences. It’s always a good idea to double-check your spelling, and watch out for those homophones. So although spelling and punctuation errors are not grammatical errors, why not go crazy and try to perfect those, too?
And don’t forget your social media posts and text messages!
