Without Grammar, We'd all be Lose

One thing you won't find much of on How To Talk Good is advice about grammar. Ideally, I could assume that everyone knows grammar rules. I mean, they start teaching that stuff in 2nd grade.
For those who didn't pay attention in 2nd grade (or 3rd or 4th or 5th…) there is an answer.
Grammar Girl runs a great website with to-the-point articles and podcasts that are a lot of fun. Not only does she give useful, simple tips on improving grammar, she does it without making you feel like a moron for not knowing the difference between lay and lie.

Great idea, Mike. This whole site I mean. As a writer, it's easy for me to get on a soapbox about how poorly most people write, but I think something like this does the job much more tastefully.
In the meantime, I'm still genuinely concerned about how the average person will be writing in 50 years. So count on me telling others about this blog.

I once had a co-worker that ALWAYS used the word 'ideal' instead of idea. I humbly accept the fact that my grammar and vocab. essentially sucks (meaning it's really really bad), but this guy drove me crazy(don't worry, I'm better now).
