When it comes to halting the advance of poor grammar, spelling and punctuation, a light touch simply will not do.

In order to conquer this scourge, Conan the Grammarian has declared war on bad writing. Using her Righteous Red Pen of Wrath, she will not stop until purple prose, word abuse and verb confusion are stamped out forever (or until she is martyred for The Cause, whichever comes first).

Do your part. Whenever you come across awkward writing, whether in print or on the Internet, track down the culprits. First offer re-education by directing them to Conan’s blog. If the perps continue to resist, you must not back down. You must give them over to Conan.

Before it’s too late.
