The Queen's English

I heard today that Queen Elizabeth is trying to change her accent, to sound more like the rest of the people in Britain--more "common," I guess, is the effect she's going for. The accent of privilege and class seems to be on its way out. By the way, Andrew Taylor has a great new book out on accents: A Plum in your Mouth: Why the Way We Talk Speaks Volumes about Us. Check it out!

Up and running!

Well, this is the first post of the Bear Print Grammar Blog. Although grammar and punctuation are not really exciting topics to a lot of people, there are some people out there who do care about these things! I'm one of them!

English is a wonderful language--malleable, flexible, breathing, and changing! If you have questions about word usage, spelling, punctuation, sentence structure, or other topics related to the English language, you're in the right place.

Hope to hear from you soon!
