Most of What You Think You Know About Grammar is Wrong

.

Another interesting article from http://www.smithsonianmag.com -- Most of What You Think You Know About Grammar is Wrong And ending sentences with a preposition is nothing worth worrying about.

My favorite bit of the article:

"As bloggers at Grammarphobia.com and former New York Times editors, we’ve seen otherwise reasonable, highly educated people turn their writing upside down to sidestep imaginary errors. There’s a simple test that usually exposes a phony rule of grammar: If it makes your English stilted and unnatural, it’s probably a fraud."


Hah!  I knew it!
