National Grammar Day 2024 (US): We indulge our inner scholars on March 4, which is National Grammar Day. Martha Brockenbrough, the founder of the Society for the Promotion of Good Grammar, instituted the day in 2008. The motto for the day is “March 4 is not merely a date; it is imperative that you speak and write proficiently and assist others in doing the same!” We highly regard this obligation; therefore, in observance of National Grammar Day, we shall congratulate our editors and acquaint ourselves with the peculiarities of the English language through diligent review of prevalent grammatical errors and revision of correspondence.

Participation in National Grammar Day Activities
Acquire a fresh grammatical rule
Is there a specific rule of grammar that you feel compelled to verify at all times? Make use of National Grammar Day as an opportunity to commit to memory that annoying grammar rule. (One that we constantly compare to the verb “lie.” (Remember: while lying on the sofa, you placed the book on the table.)
Retrieve your crimson pen.
Although periodicals and newspapers undergo multiple rounds of copyediting, errors almost always manage to escape. Observe National Grammar Day by recognizing that even the most seasoned professionals are fallible in their command of grammar. While perusing one’s preferred magazine or newspaper, maintain a vigilant eye for grammatical errors and be prepared to annotate with a red pen. What should one do after discovering one? A simple expression consisting of a broad red circle and a grin.
Celebrate grammar with a celebration.
Be the guest of your pals for some grammar games! Engage in a game of “Pin the Attapostrophe on the “It’s”; narrate hilarious grammatical errors culled from the Internet; and facilitate a discourse on a contentious English language issue: whether to use the Oxford comma, yea, or nay?
