National Grammar Day

Play episode

March 4 was National Grammar Day, an occasion that prompted thoughtful essays and discussions about grammar, as well as a Tweeted Haiku Contest, for which Martha served a judge. Arika Okrent, author of In The Land of Invented Languages, took the prize with this one: “I am an error/ And I will never reveal myself/ After you press send.” Actually, that tweet became a self-fulfilling prophecy, because she soon followed up with an apt correction: Make that “send”. This is part of a complete episode.
