Take the National Grammar Day Quiz

There's a new post on the Web of Language:


Take the National Grammar Day Quiz

Once again it’s National Grammar Day, a day when ordinary citizens grab red pens and correct other people’s grammar (they correct spelling on Dictionary Day, punctuation on National Punctuation Day, and pronunciation on Talk Like a Pirate Day).

Even if you celebrated National Grammar day last year<http://illinois.edu/blog/view/25/89120?displayType=month&displayMonth=201303> or in 2010<http://illinois.edu/blog/view/25/23536?displayType=month&displayMonth=201003>, you must celebrate it again today. Most important, or most importantly, if you live in a state that is adopting the Common Core, you are required to take the National Grammar Day Quiz today. If you took the National Grammar Quiz in 2011<http://illinois.edu/blog/view/25/45573?ACTION=POST&displayOrder=desc&displayType=search&displaySearch=grammar,day&displayColumn=created&displayCount=1>, you must retake it, because those scores are no longer valid.
