First, I want to wish everyone a happy National Grammar Day!
Since 2004 every March 4th has been celebrated by grammarphiles and grammar police everywhere. As a holder of an English degree and a former proofreader, I have been waiting for this day for months. Seriously. March 4th should be celebrated nationally as a reminder to English speakers and writers that grammar is indeed important. Not only does proper grammar make one sound smarter, it also reinforces the integrity of the complex English language.
That being said, I don't expect the post offices to close or even a parade. I would just like people to spread the good grammar word around their households, classrooms, workplaces, and anywhere else.
