Exposing grammar myths and mistakes with Grammar Girl


Is it “on accident” or “by accident”? Should “red, white, and blue” have that second comma? Is “10 items or less” okay? Jess and Rob are joined by the internet’s Grammar Girl, Mignon Fogarty, to examine some common grammatical myths and mistakes.

🥳 Is it wrong to use “fun” as an adjective?
🏎️ Is “drive SLOW” bad grammar? (or just a flat adverb?)
🥃 Why does “tonic and gin” sound weird?

These questions answered, as well as many more, on Words Unravelled.

  1. As far as the “tonic and gin” is concerned, I would say one names the ingredience first, of which one wants to use most, so my drink would always be “gin and tonic” 😉 😀
