National Grammar Day

National Grammar Day is celebrated every year on March 4 in the United States. Compliance encourages the correct use of grammar in both spoken and written languages.

Why National Grammar Day be loved?

1. Grammar is useful

Grammar gives us complete clarity when sharing our thoughts. It's the difference between inviting your mother to eat ("let's eat, mom!") and inviting your mother to eat ("let's eat!"). It's the difference between enjoying cooking and also liking your pet ("I love to cook, my cat and my dog") and cooking for your pet ("I love cooking for you").

2. Satisfying grammar

Editing feels great. Finding a misspelling, misspelled word or misuse there, theirs or them is extremely gratifying thing. One might even call it a workday! Whether you're rereading your work, picking up a red pen on a friend's cover letter, or looking for a comma wrong in The New York Times, know the rules of grammar to use them in everyday life and makes us feel wonderful.

3. Grammar makes us nostalgic

So a lot of grammar rules have been attached to our brains because we learned them as children! It is interesting to learn grammar rules through mnemonics, songs and cartoons that originally taught us the rules as children. From Schoolhouse Rock to Sesame Street, grammar brings back so many great memories.

History of National Grammar Day

Martha Brockenbrough has had enough. She has seen the word misused and abused and simply wouldn't represent another example of poor innocent language being mistreated in her presence. Not on her watch! So Martha decided that all good verbs, adverbs, nouns, and adjectives deserve a day when people stand up for their rights and not allow them to be abused. Single quotes will no longer be lost, forgotten, or misplaced. No more, we will find commas omitted and proper nouns in lower case.

National Grammar Day was first celebrated in 2008 and it's still going strong. Martha Brockenbrough is also the founder of the Association to Promote Good Grammar, which promotes excellent grammar all year round. In the first year the day was celebrated, it was commemorated in a letter sent by former President George W. Bush. Even the date chosen has a special meaning. Brockenbrough chose March 4 because that was also an indication - “March 4!”

It was developed not only to blame people for choosing the wrong grammar, but also to celebrate the positive side of the language. Good use of grammar and language ensures your intended meaning comes out. And once you have the foundation of good grammar, you can use it to create, educate, inform, and indulge in whatever you want to write.

Grammar plays an important part in communication. Therefore, the inclusion or exclusion of grammatical elements can change the complete meaning of a certain sentence. What do you do when you see signs for breakfast that say “Hard brown potatoes”? Or grocery store signs that say you can buy “Gluten Free” foods here? What about when KEYE TV in Texas declared “Department of Criminal Justice: What are they doing to fix that”? Really, no matter where you go or what you do for a living, grammar mistakes are a problem we all need to be aware of.
