Grammar Girl Fans

[The Knize]

Anyone follow the podcast "Grammar Girl--Quick and Dirty Tips for Better Writing"?

I really like it, although I admit I do not listen to it every week. Manages to stay fairly "advanced," but still interesting and listenable.

Are there any other shows/podcasts out there on writing, grammar, and similar that are like this one? The few I have listened to seem very dry and boring, and often too elementary. But there must be other ones that are not.

I find this stuff endlessly fascinating.

Be careful - as we've seen, posting about proofing posts may cause posters to go postal.

Better?

Oh man, if you think *that* was postal you should be careful where you tread in this internet.

I saw an article a week or two ago discussing a potential PTSD epidemic among folks hired to filter posts on corporate websites.

Until I get enough saved for a Chicago Manual of Style, she's my girl. Oh, and apropos of nothing:

You could be a politician.

Thank you for avoiding one of my pet peeves and using "apropos" correctly. (Hint: if you can use "appropriate," don't use "apropos.")

This is a good website, by the way:
