National Grammar Day -- March 4th

SPOGG -- the Society for the Promotion of Good Grammar -- is promoting Tuesday, March 4, 2008 as National Grammar Day. There's no indication on SPOGG's web site as to what nation they're talking about -- presumably the U.S. -- but as a (new) member of SPOGG, I feel comfortable encouraging my fellow Canadians to take part in the day's activities (On March 4th, march forth and spread the word...)

The web site is (as you'd expect) well written and entertaining -- so do check it out. While you're there, have a look at SPOGG's Top 10 Grammar Tips -- it's a great list. (I have to admit that I'm a bit biased, as I cover off most of those points in my writing seminars.)
