Usage Goofs! It's Grammar, not "grammer."

I cannot give you a good reason why English pronunciation is often so far off from what it looks as if it ought to be. All I can do is remind you of the correct spelling.

I heard from two people this week (I'll leave you both anonymous for now.) who told me they really liked the new "grammer" blog. I know, "er" sounds right, but unfortunately, sound and logic do not apply here.

For future reference, the word that refers to proper parts of speech, verb tenses, and other writing and speaking choices is grammar.

Have a great weekend, everyone, and keep your grammAR straight!
