Put on your grammar nazi armbands, Loungers!

On March 4, we let our inner nerd out for National Grammar Day! The day was established in 2008 by the Society for the Promotion of Good Grammar. The day’s motto is: “It’s not only a date, it’s an imperative: March forth on March 4 to speak well, write well, and help others do the same!”

NATIONAL GRAMMAR DAY ACTIVITIES
1. Learn a new grammar rule
Is there a particular grammar rule you always feel like you have to double-check? Use National Grammar Day as your excuse to finally memorize that pesky grammar rule! (One we are always looking up: lay versus lie! How to remember it: you lie down on the sofa, but you lay the book on the table!)

3. Have a Grammar Party
Invite your friends over for grammar games! Play pin the apostrophe on the “it’s”; read out examples of the most hilarious grammar mistakes from the Internet; and stage a discussion on one of the greatest debates in the English language: the Oxford comma, yea or nay?

Anybody up for a Lounge grammar party? Yea or nay?

3. Showing my age, I actually remembered a Schoolhouse Rock song to get an answer

to a question. Does anyone remember “Interjection?” 😀 We play Jeopardy on our Alexa and a grammar question popped up, and my mind immediately went to the catchy tune to get the answer.

. . . or by a comma when the feeling’s not as strong.”
