Some very smart people have difficulty with grammar. But the peculiar thing is that some think others don’t notice!  

That’s like an amateur carpenter saying to an experienced builder, “I’m making my daughter a desk chair for her dorm. One leg is an inch shorter than the other three. But I don’t think that’ll be noticeable, do you?” That’s like a shipper saying to the accountant, “Our invoices don’t agree with the bank statements, but I don’t think that should create any questions, do you?”

It’s common to notice errors and imprecision in our own area of expertise yet think accuracy and precision in language don’t matter.  But they do.

So here’s the deal:  We’re offering blog readers early, free access to our new 25-question online grammar quiz at www.howsyourgrammar.com. Would you do me the favor of spending 15 minutes to see how your grammar skills measure up?  I think you’ll find it beneficial as well as challenging.

We’ve been selling the print version of the quiz for more than 20 years to our corporate clients wanting to assess the grammar/writing skills of job applicants or others being considered for promotions. This month, we launched the online version to coincide with the release of my new grammar book in the fall.

For the next few months, we’re offering this as a free preview version to blog readers.  (In the future, we’ll be selling the more comprehensive, 50-item assessment to our corporate clients.)

Thanks for accepting the challenge!

Take the Quiz!

Share and Enjoy
