Good Grammar is Hot

http://www.teamalakai.com/english.gif/english-large.jpg Earlier in the month, I posted an entry on my sister blog, The Vegas Valley View, discussing proper communication in the workplace and obvious appropriate situations. I discussed the fact that me, as a former one-time high school English/creative writing teacher, it was a struggle to teach grammar and writing in a test-hungry environment such as today's public schools.

Now comes this group on Facebook named "Good Grammar is Hot." No joke. I joined today. Some of the topics du jour: making the case for passive versus active voice, when adverbs are appropriate, gerunds and overall elements of style.

For those of you on Facebook, take a look.

E.C. :)
