CONGRATULATIONS TO ME:

THREE YEARS AND COUNTING

On April 6, 2007, I published my first blog entry, citing lofty ideals and a mandate to harass professional writers, newscasters and radio and television speakers for so much abuse of the English language. I like to think that, in a small way, I have pushed them to be aware of their obligations to the public and, especially, to young and impressionable readers and listeners.


I take pride in offering a word-a-day to challenge people to broaden their vocabularies.

I also take pride in trying to improve punctuation, sentence structure and grammar.

Today's posting is number 881 and I fully intend to keep going, to keep challenging and to always champion the correct use of the English language.
