An illustrated guide for people who already know how to use an apostrophe but like pretty charts. Related news: the guys behind Fake AP Style Book were unmasked. Does anyone know if they're single?
This cool map shows the regional differences between people to say “ya'll” and people who say “you” — along with those who say “you all” and “you guys”. While I find it kind of strange that the only state to say “you” is grammatically-challenged Rhode Island, they've also left out the essential “youz” or “youz all” which exists exclusively on Long Island.
Irreverent buttons boasting some of the best misspelled filth to ever hit your inbox. It's the Internet x Borat + a button machine. In other words, we're toetally rok hard fir this.
I'm not sure what these means for the future of humanity, but I know it's not a good sign.

AP Stylebook, the bible for all writing nerds, is going where grammar goes to die: Twitter. AP Style's community manager is on hand to remind you of important rules, such as despite the fact that it adds one more character, Web site remains two words. Sorry, fans of Chicago style, @chicagostyle seems to be managed by a fashion event planner.
This one is actually a trick question. The real answer is, “Yes, I leave. I go home to make a list of all the things that are wrong with this quiz. It takes me several hours.”
How do you spell cockatoo? Big points if you can beat this bird with the word “influenza,” it might send a message or something.
Culture Buzz March 4th is National Grammar Day! Take some time to reflect on compound adjectives, sentence diagramming, and serial commas (pro or con?) with the ones you love.
Politics Buzz A Valley Girl-ish verbal tic is the latest reason that Caroline Kennedy is totally unqualified to be Senator. She used the phrase roughly 140 times in an interview with the New York Times this weekend, inspiring every journalist not on vacay with Obama in Hawaii to question her literacy and readiness to lead. In fairness: a) she uses those two words a lot and b) she unwisely pissed off the NYT reporters when she told them they should be working for “like, women's mags.” They obviously slapped her with the “like” commas as well; next will be sentence diagramming like Sarah Palin.
Culture Buzz Happy National Punctuation Day, the holiday that reminds everybody that “a semicolon is not a surgical procedure”!!! So use your commas, hyphens, parenthesis, and “quotation marks” generously, copy editors have been forewarned.
