The Grammar Grump: Adverbs
Ah, the adverb. The bane of editors everywhere, but I think they have their place. I love this quote about adverbs: “Overuse at best is needless clutter; at worst, it creates the impression that the characters are overacting, emoting like silent film stars. Still, an adverb can be exactly what a sentence needs. They can Read More

The Grammar Grump: Apostrophes
Ah, the apostrophe. Like the comma, it’s so little and so misunderstood. Again, I have scoured the internet looking for memes, and again, they are everywhere. <–This pic comes from the website of The Independent–the article is entertaining. But I digress. The rules: 1.
