National Grammar Day 2019

I used to be quite the wordsmith. I used to take great pleasure in writing and forming various plays on words in my daily life.

That entirety of Grammar as a system of language structure which takes into consideration arrangement and word forms as well as pronunciation and meaning was my playground for much of my younger life.

Alas, these days are gone and I don't really enjoy any aspect of it all anymore.

Today is National Grammar Day in the United States.

It was established by one Martha Brockenbrough, who authored "Things That Make Us [Sic]" (2008) and founded the Society for the Promotion of Good Grammar.

Talk about no life.

Designated in 2008, the National Grammar Day is one of those observances I notice few people realize exists, much less observe.

Looks like I'm not the only agraphic or graphicaphobic out there.

I personally feel that things got bad in the 1980s when students began using chat room abbreviations in their writing assignments as if that were remotely appropriate.

Just like the teaching assistants at college who were in charge of English classes yet could not write a lick.

Our generation of burger flippers has done us in from a standpoint of good literary practices.

Just goes to show you that quite a few too many have been doing little more than laying around and breeding during their ignorant existence.
