Grammar Girl Is Hot
Emma | Jul 28, 2008 | Comments 7
Any Internet Marketer worth his/her salt, or aspiring marketer for that matter. Knows about the wealth of information that can be found in Google Trends. Today when I checked trends the #1, hot trend was a familiar name. The one and only Mignon Fogarty known as Grammar Girl. Yes I have talked about her in previous posts.
Apparently she is on a book signing tour for her new book; Grammar Girl’s Quick and Dirty Tips For Better Writing
Her most frequently asked questions are the following:
Who VS Whom : Use “whom” anytime you could answer the question with “him.” This is easy to remember because both words end with “m.” Example: Whom do you love? I love him. Who stepped on Squiggly? He stepped on squiqqly.
Lay VS Lie : People lie and objects lay. Examples; I like down on the couch. I lay the book on the table.
Affect VS Effect : Affect is a verb, Effect is a noun. The arrows affected the aardvark. The effect was eye-popping.

Hey all, I figured out why she was all over the net today. She was on an Oprah episode that ran today. Oprah really does have power.
Not to be too picky, but ‘affect’ can also be a noun, as in
affect |ˈafekt; əˈfekt|
noun Psychology
emotion or desire, esp. as influencing behavior or action.
Love the site – keep up the good work!

Those sticky little grammar questions still haunt me. Another one is the split infinitive. Obviously I’m not alone.
Looks like she’s really cornered a huge niche market there. Get something specific that millions of people need information on, promote it well and you’ve got it made!
