\"GrammarGirl180.JPG.jpg\"I don’t know whether I’d say I’m a grammar geek<\/a> but I do enjoy the topic, even if my writing doesn’t always represent GAGC (generally accepted grammatical constructions).<\/p>\n

But I do enjoy reading books like Lynn Truss<\/a>‘ (or is it Truss’s?) Eats, Shoots & Leaves<\/a> and I’m never without a copy of Strunk & White<\/a> close by.<\/p>\n

So I have no hesitation in recommending a podcast about grammar.<\/p>\n

It’s called Grammar Girl – Quick and Dirty Tips for Better Writing<\/a>, and it’s a great way to stay sharp. It’s a regular 5-minute show that looks at a particular grammar issue in detail. You can find it on Itunes or you can go to the website,<\/a> where you can listen, download it and also order a copy of her book<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I thought of it today because I found out through Twitter<\/a> (via Donna Papacosta, host of the Trafcom News Podcast<\/a>) that Grammar Girl (aka Mignon Fogarty) is featured in a video<\/a> that’s up on YouTube. I’ve linked to the video below, so you can watch it yourself. And I recommend that you sign up for Grammar Girl. It won’t hurt, and you might find it helps your writing too.<\/p>\n
