lANGUAGE PROBlEM BlOGS

The greatest thing about Blogger blogs is that you can create one for free and dedicate it to any one of your grammatical pet peeves.

Here are four (one’s not technically on Blogger; oh well):

• Apostrophe Abuse: Links and visuals illustrating an orthographic pet peeve.
• lowercase l: “Ever notice hand-written signs with letters in all-caps, except for the letter L? It looks like an uppercase i … WHY DO PEOPlE WRITE lIKE THIS?”
• Literally, A Web Log: “An English language grammar blog tracking abuse of the word ‘literally’”
• the “blog” of “unnecesary” quotation marks: This one is “obvious.”

They all invite submissions … I think I have one to send in myself.
