REVIEW:
The Grammar Lady began as a weekly column in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette called the "Grammar Hotline". In each column, the Grammar lady responded to questions posed on the Grammar Hotline. (The hotline was set up in the late 1980's by the Coalition of Adult Literacy. Most Coalition programs are operated by college/university English Departments or writing programs. The one that sponsors this site was run by a community service agency.) The site also includes commonly asked questions. The English grammar section has spelling rules, homophones, a "Question of the Week," and a bookstore. The site includes an online biography of the "Grammar Lady." This is a good resource for anyone interested in grammar and a great place to pose a question that a user can't seem to find the answer to.
