I think most people would benefit from a daily grammar lesson, especially when the entries are short. ESL learners would likely find the examples helpful and easy to understand and everyone else would find them funny too. For anyone who is confident in their grammar skills, this book is a good way to brush up those skills.

There is one exception. The use of "reverts back" about 4/5 into the book made me groan, but not everyone is perfect.

The Grammar Daily is a must-have for anyone looking to polish their grammar skills. Mignon Fogarty’s warm yet authoritative voice guides readers through the nuances of the English language with an ease and approachability that is rare in grammar guides. This book is not just a tool for improvement; it's a celebration of the beauty and complexity of language, offered in a format that is accessible, engaging, and immensely practical. I love that you can read one entry a day or go at whatever pace you like!

Great practice. I wanted to brush up on my skills and help my children. Great resource to help me remember how to talk good.

I am a big fan of the original 2009 The Grammar Devotional. The copyright page indicates that there are some updated lessons for the new 2023 The Grammar Daily…on comparison of a few weeks and related keys, I can’t find anything, but I am sure there are updates and revisions. The Introduction and Acknowledgements are a smidge different. Regardless, even if it is just a reskinning, this book is a winner.

I always loved the repurposing of the daily devotional format for a grammar tutorial, so I was kind of stunned to read in a post or interview back in those early years, that Mignon was ignorant to the concept of the religious devotion…even post-publication (though the format instructions in original introduction make that seem implausible). Clearly her publisher/editor knew…did they not tell her? The new Introduction loses the mention of the devotional format, styling it as a “page-a-day calendar.” Interesting.

Thanks to NetGalley for access to the ARC of the new edition!

The Grammar Daily by Mignon Fogarty is a great resource to have on hand. Check out her website and grammar podcasts; quite informative. There is lots of useful information provided in a fun and engaging manner.

This book was fantastic! I’ve been writing since I could pick up a pencil, but there are still some aspects of grammar that I can’t remember to save my life. This book gave quick and easy ways to remember them. Especially my old nemesis who vs. whom! It’s easy to read and would even be useful for high school age kids (maybe even younger if they are advanced readers or writers)! This is especially true for those who find grammar books overly technical or dry (and thus hard to get through, much less stay awake while reading). A must have for any level of writer!

Huge thanks to St. Martin’s Press and NetGalley for sending me this ARC for review! All of my reviews are given honestly!

This was an exceptionally easy-to-read, well-put-together book filled with just about everything you ever wanted to know about grammar and punctuation. As someone who is hoping to get into the proofreading business, this was a great resource. I bookmarked so many pages in my digital version! I'm going to go back and write them all down so that I can organize and remember them better. I received my copy through the Read Now option on NetGalley, and all opinions are my own.

5 ⭐️

Straight forward and easy to understand. The Grammar Daily makes grammar accessible at all writing levels.

Layed out like a “quote a Day” calendar, this book makes for a perfect bedside read that will leave you smarter as you work your way to the end.

**Thank you, NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for sending this book for review consideration. All opinions are my own.**

The Grammar Daily by Mignon Fogarty is a must have.. I have referred to Mignon Fogarty’s knowledge countless times when writing a letter or an email. I love the book layout, the tips, and all the examples. The reader gets to decide whether to read it daily (that would be me) or use it as a reference. Reading Grammar Daily will help you learn and apply something new every day for 52 weeks. The best part is there are quizzes, word searches and scrambles to test the knowledge learned. I will purchase a hard copy.

Thank you Netgalley for the ARC.

I am really enjoying this book!
It offers up grammar rules in bite-sized doses (one a day) so is easily accessible. There's humour, it's easy to read, good explanations, and little quizzes.
I didn't sit down and read the whole thing through in one go because that is not how it is designed. I'm continuing to take my time to read through it and enjoy.

My one issue with the book is that some of the grammar rules imply that THIS IS HOW IT MUST BE. In fact, the English language is CONSTANTLY changing, and the author even acknowledges at the beginning that this is the case and that, unlike French, there is no committee that gets together and says "hErE aRe ThE rUlEs."
English has evolved so much over the centuries, and continues to evolve, and it can be okay to not follow the rules! If language is a way for a society to communicate its culture, history, values, etc., then it must adjust to reflect the culture at the time, instead of abiding by rules that reflect society of the past.

A bit of a digression there, but something to keep in mind if you check out this book. :)

Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for the eARC; all thoughts are my own.

I am very please I was given the opportunity to review The Grammar Daily via NetGalley. I have been referring to Grammar Girl for issues with grammar and how to communicate the grammar issues to those who's papers I review and my co-workers when they have questions. Grammar Girl explains the subject succinctly and without a lot of jargon. Her examples also help understand the problem when I am looking for a solution. I am writing this review in the present tense because I continue to refer to her work.

The structure of the book into a daily calendar type work is helpful and easily digestible. As I worked through the book she explained several grammar areas that I wasn't really aware were issues of min. I would highly recommend this book and will refer to it frequently. If the majority of grammar books leave you confused to seem to esoteric, give Grammar Girl a try.

I love Mignon Fogarty’s Quick And Dirty Tips For Better Writing (the podcast and books), and was so happy to find a new book by her!

This new book provides readers with another easy way to digest grammar tips and tricks. With 365 short entries, this book is perfect for daily bedside readers who want to learn something new about grammar every day.

Her podcast episodes are quick, informative, and always have a fun story at the end 😊 if you love grammar tips definitely give this podcast a listen!

Thank you to NetGalley for providing me with an ARC copy of this book! I love Grammar Girl and was so excited get an early look at her new book! I loved it!

The Grammar Daily is a neat grammar book because it offers quick & easy tips in an extremely digestible format. It has a tip for everyday of the year & allows for the reader to start on any day, which allows for greater flexibility than most day-to-day calendars. I learned something by reading the very first tip of the day. I also appreciated the fact it was interactive with actual questions that had the answers at the end of the book. There’s also examples with the tip, which emphasize the learning aspect. I also thought it was cool that there were word scrambles, word searches, some adorable drawings 8 more. This is the perfect gift for anyone that loves writing, grammar &/or just learning in general.

Massive thanks to NerGalley & St. Martin’s Press for the gifted copy, which I voluntarily read & reviewed/

This is a fun, easy to understand, quick guide to grammar. I would love to see this as a daily calendar type thing, where you can pull off each day. For whatever reason, I was expecting this to be a little more humorous or light, but I still am enjoying going through it (and learning a lot!).

This book was very helpful. Thank you netgalley for making it available. It really helped with a writing project i was working on.

I am always looking for easy-to-implement tools (I hope I wrote that correctly; this feels as if I might be graded). Beyond a doubt, there is more here than one ELA teacher needs in a year. I enjoyed the content even though I did not enjoy the act of reading the book. The pages are crowded and look boring. This reminds me of a manual that someone created themselves.

The content is first class. The author knows her stuff. If only she didn’t feel the need to use every millimeter of white space. It’s digital. Go crazy.

Delightful set of excellent grammar tips and fun games, including scrambles, quizzes, and word searches. As a nice bonus, the answers to the games include nice explanations.

This is such a fun and nerdy (in the best possible way) book! I love how quickly you can learn a new grammar tip. The layout makes it perfect to pick up anytime of the year and it also includes an index so you can find something right away when you are trying to find a certain topic. It’s a great book for students, adults, and writers! I highly recommend The Grammar Daily.

I absolutely loved the update to this edition of The Grammar Daily! You get Grammar Girl's wit and expertise, a variety of puzzles, and many drawings of Aardvarks. My one complaint is the layout of the EPUB in the NetGalley app; I would enjoy this more as a physical book as it is clearly meant to be filled out and annotated. The entries are a topic-of-the-day style and are not dated, so you may start using the book any time of the year. I will be purchasing this for myself when it's released in November 2023.

This book is full of all the fun and modern tips you would expect from the grammar girl. While I read it straight through and got some great reminders, I plan the reread how it’s intended. Having one tip a day is easier to absorb. I’m going to buy a copy for my son too. It also makes a great reference book.
