The English language is expansive and complex. The rules are always changing, and grammar advice from a century or even a few years ago may not apply today.

Editor, linguistic expert, and self-proclaimed “grammar cheerleader” Lisa McLendon has spent her career finding ways to use language effectively and correctly. Lisa knows that the primary reason people are uneasy about writing and public speaking is because they aren’t confident in their grammar skills.
