Exposing grammar myths and mistakes with Grammar Girl
Update: 2025-07-16
Description
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.

There is no question in my mind that the on accident/by accident influence had to have been "Sesame Street".
