Grammar Girl

The blog I chose to follow is Grammar Girl at http://grammar.quickanddirtytips.com/ hosted by Mignon Fogarty. At first I was a little skeptical because the title reminded me of something a high school girl might create. After exploring the site I discovered that in addition to being a grammar guru, Fogarty was also a magazine and technical writer with a B.A. in English and an M.S. in biology.
The site provides helpful tips on how to improve writing. Podcasts are embedded throughout each section. There is also a section that includes daily grammar tips like lie versus lay and affect versus effect. This site will benefit me and my students.
