What’s something everyone uses every single day, but is not often thought about? Give up? It’s grammar!
National Grammar Day is observed in the United States on March 4. It was established in 2008 by Martha Brockenbrough, author of “Things That Make Us [Sic]” and founder of the Society for the Promotion of Good Grammar.
According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, grammar is defined as “the study of the classes of words, their inflections, and their functions and relations in the sentence.” It’s the set of rules that explain how words are used in a language.
Rather than list off a bunch of grammatical ramblings, I wrote the following poem to honor grammar on its special day.
