Someone told me about this great new podcast called the Grammar Girl's Quick & Dirty Tips for Better Writing. So I checked it out and I love it! Grammar Girl discusses the most commonly made grammar mistakes (or is it grammatical mistakes?) and then goes into correct usage, all in a few minutes. You can visit Grammar Girl's website at: http://grammar.qdnow.com, or visit the
iTunes store and search for Grammar Girl under
Podcasts.
Thank you, Sumi! I'd heard about Grammar Girl but had not checked her out. Thanks for the incentive to do so. I liked her podcast on lie and lay and am still thinking about her suggestion to use the phrase "Lay it on me" as a way of keeping the two words straight. I look forward to listening to more of GG's podcasts, and I'm sure I'll bring up in class at least some of her helpful tips.
