“Personally I think that grammar is a way to attain beauty.” This loving thought is penned by Muriel Barbery in The Elegance of the Hedgehog, a book that is bursting with gorgeous sentences, a book that is an antidote to all our rushed and mangled expressions, all our blurted tweets and texts, all our unedited communications.
Spend time this year remembering the beauty that comes from a “well-turned phrase or an elegant style”; and, if you’ve forgotten a rule, there’s Grammar Girl to the rescue!
