Friday Follies #93 – Making Grammar Great Again, One Hyphen at a Time
Welcome back to another edition of Friday Follies! Especially for you, the Grammar Cop has prepared a puzzle of perplexing pairs…of words. (Sorry there is no synonym for “word” that starts with a P. 😀 ) See if you can differentiate these.
Friday Follies #92 – Making Grammar Great Again, One Hyphen at a Time
The Grammar Cop’s word of the day is: egregious. It means blatantly offensive, which is how she would describe today’s mistakes.
Friday Follies #91 – Making Grammar Great Again, One Hyphen at a Time
The Grammar Cop has had it up to here, FF fans! There are just so many mistakes she sees, over and over again. Not that she expects magic to happen by pointing them out, but just maybe there will be one less boo-boo offending the eyes of people who happen to love and respect the English language, and – oh, sorry, I could rant all day. 😀 Anyway, here are just a few of these common offences (Canadian/British spelling, thank you).
Friday Follies #90 – Making Grammar Great Again, One Hyphen at a Time

Welcome back, Friday Follyites! Today the Grammar Cop has arrested two criminals for a total of three heinous grammar gaffes. Read ’em and weep, ladies and gentlemen.
Welcome To My Splog* (NOT the bad kind!)
Here’s something a little different for loyal followers and new visitors alike: a list of possible blog variations I call “splogs.” A “splog” is my idea of a “special blog,” see? Here are a few more possibilities, and maybe you can think of others yourself!
Friday Follies #85 – Making Grammar Great Again, One Hyphen at a Time
Wrong Way Corrigan. Heard of him? Douglas Corrigan was a private pilot who, in 1938, flew from Brooklyn to Ireland, even though he had intended to fly to Long Beach, California! Hence the nickname. What does this have to do with Friday Follies, you may ask? Simple: Today the Grammar Cop will present some Wrong Word Boo-boos.
