  1. @eclecticjules It's a New Year's resolution. ("New Year's" is capitalized because it's the name of a holiday--short for "New Year's Day.")
  2. @GaryArmstrong Sorry, I don't know. The dictionary says "tendonitis" is a variant, but I believe "tendinitis" is the proper term.
  3. @commonreaders Thanks for tweeting about the Grammar Girl iPhone app. I'm excited about it too!
  4. Is Your Stuff Worth a Retweet? http://j.mp/7Hcc2J
  5. ! @sethharwood has some interesting insights into the ranking of Kindle books at Amazon: http://bit.ly/sy1qr
  6. I only made it through seven pages in the last hour, and I wasn't screwing around at all. I'm doomed!
  7. Heading to the coffeehouse to do book editing for as long as I can stand it. (That's usually about four hours.)
  8. RT @sethharwood: A Long Way From Disney - Seth Harwood makes an Amazon Kindle store rush today - http://tinyurl.com/yhxjtw8
  9. The bonus tip in the Grammar Girl iPhone app tomorrow will be about when to capitalize cocktail names: http://j.mp/8nDrxO (iTunes link)
  10. It's been great fun to see people tweeting about getting my books for Christmas. Thanks, everyone, and enjoy!
  11. @crgonzalez Linguists seem to distinguish between grammar and syntax, but I can't honestly say I understand the distinction.
  12. RT @simplerich Tip: Bought "Grammar Devotional" for present but kept it. If buying for someone else buy 1 for yourself since you'll keep it.
  13. RT @SeattleMaverick Bought the last copy of "The Grammar Devotional" at B&N. And have front-row parking. Score! http://twitpic.com/v0s9h
  14. Two of my tweets made @onlinecourse's list of 50 favorite tweets from 2009 http://bit.ly/7Gpq9q
  15. @ChoosingChange Right. "Girls who" is better than "girls that."
  16. @hughesla I concede that it's definitely nice to be able to throw in a load of laundry, wear slippers, and cook lunch in my own kitchen.
  17. @LaylahM By not keeping regular hours, I just work all the time. I can never get away. I feel as if it might help to set boundaries.
  18. @MamaeAzores That's exactly what I'm looking at; visiting this afternoon.
  19. @SeattleMaverick It doesn't make you a grammar snob; it makes you a grammar devotee: http://j.mp/91U6WF.
  20. Did you miss it at Thanksgiving? My why-is-it-called-a-turkey video will give you something to talk about over dinner: http://j.mp/5U25l9
