For today is National Grammar Day!
::cheers::
Coincidentally, Jeanette Winterson had a rant in her column this month about reading and writing . http://www.jeanettewinterson.com/pages/content/index.asp?PageID=504
I particularly like this bit: “I keep meeting intelligent kids who can’t manage a sentence with dependent clauses or verbal twists. Their whole language base is like Phrasebook French (where’s the toilet? Two baguettes, what time is the bus?).”

She’s my hero.
Arrrrr
Grammar Day, Talk Like a Pirate Day… it’s all good.
I’ve finally bookmarked your LJ.
Cheers, Ruth
