Cheryl Norman, Grammar Cop :-)

It’s here, the first national grammar day.  Good grammar is an endangered species, but it’s not dead.  In fact, groups like SPOGG promote the use of good grammar, identifying and drawing attention to misuse in the public eye.

In honor of National Grammar Day, I’m serving a high fiber lunch (good for colons!) and drinking a Grammartini!  Join me and join SPOGG over at http://nationalgrammarday.com. 

Finally, here is my grammar pet peeve for the day: the split infinitive.  
(BAD: I wanted to seriously talk about my feelings with him.  BETTER: I wanted to talk seriously about my feelings with him.) 

It’s better to save your adverb for last, or place it before your “to” + verb phrase.
