A relatively new holiday, National Grammar Day was established in 2008 by Martha Brockenbrough, a fellow word nerd who founded the Society for the Promotion of Good Grammar. President George W. Bush officially noted his approval of the holiday by sending a letter to commemorate it in its first year. I’m sure it had impeccable punctuation.

In case you’re struggling to think of ways to get in on the Grammar Day festivities, here are some...

I love listening to other people’s coffee shop orders. It seems there is no limit to human creativity when it comes to curating the best bespoke beverage. With so many milk choices, coffee combinations and sweetener options, the possibilities are endless. And, as long as I get that caffeine in me, it’s all good.
