English language stuff

The English language is quite interesting when you take a close look at it. One example is the etymology, or the origin of words in the language. Think you have it figured out? Take an etymology quiz and see just how much you know.

Now that we know the origin of the words, how do we put them together? It appears we often do that incorrectly. Avoiding "writerisms" can help you become a stronger writer. Still coming up short? Make an office call to Dr. Grammar to cure your writing ills.
