National Grammar Day – March 4th

I noted on Dennis Baron’s go-to site for language, a blog I frequent and enjoy, that March 4th brings National Grammar Day! Does anybody care about National Grammar Day? Those care about parsing sentences correctly should visit the site: The Web of Language. It is an enjoyable site with much to read. He posted a tongue-in-cheek quiz today and the responses are great fun to read. Why not add your own?

Enjoy!

    Hey Tony,

    The duo that I most enjoyed from Baron’s ten questions were:

    # Do we light candles on National Grammar Day, or do we light the wicks?
    # Is National Grammar Day a two-day holiday if I’m bilingual?

    You’re right it is—in part—a list of behavioral definitions and, of course, linguistic spaghetti.

    Cheers,

    Ray

      I enjoyed his questions and left my responses on his blog. He always seems to find something fascinating to do with language.

      Thanks,
