About Grammar Party:
I must admit: I’ve never been great with titles. And I’m kind of wincing right now as memories of my college headline writing class come flooding back. (How many picas are in the letter “j” again?) I know Grammar Party is an awesome title, but it’s misleading. Grammar Party is about so much more than what words to use when. It’s about etymology, phonetics, semantics, and many other words that end in –ology and –tics, all written in a way that’s easy to understand, whether you’re a grammar snob or a casual learner.
About Erin Roof:
I work as a freelance copy editor and writer. I graduated magna cum laude from Kent State University’s journalism school in 2006. Though I still enjoy writing, I fell in love with the functionality and evolution of words and am using this blog to share my passion for linguistics.
When I’m not busy being a word nerd, I enjoy petting my two kitties, watching sci-fi movies, and knitting in my cozy apartment in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
You have some really great insights and seem very well versed in the jargon involved with language. I take my hat off to you! I look forward to reading more of your work :)
Excellent blog! Thanks for “liking” a few of my posts.

I took a communications class at uni, which was only a tiny insight into the work of -ologies and -tics, so I’m looking forward to browsing through your blog and re-learning these important factors of writing.
I am in love with this entire thing.
You have really helpful posts. Thanks for maintaining this blog, it is great for helping me reach Grammar Geekdom!
Hey! Loving this blog. I nominated you for the Liebster Blog Award. http://verifiedkayo.wordpress.com/2011/11/23/and-the-award-goes-to/
Hi Erin, Thanks for stopping by Morganti Writes today – you’ve got a great blog here – fun and entertaining — making learning easy in the process!
There should be more people like you on WordPress. There’s nothing worse than grammatically incorrect posts. On second thought, grammatically incorrect published items are by far the worst.
How about something on “which” and “that”? They’re my twin Achilles’ heels.
Trust me, that’s on the agenda. Thanks for the comment.
OK, I once dated the daughter of the dean of Kent State. . .long, very long story. . .ever read Karen Elizabeth Gordon?
