Is it "on accident" or "by accident"? Should "red, white, and blue" have that second comma? Is "10 items or less" okay? Jess and Rob are joined by the internet's Grammar Girl, Mignon Fogarty, to examine some common grammatical myths and mistakes. 🥳 Is it wrong to use "fun" as an adjective? 🏎️ Is "drive SLOW" bad grammar? (or just a flat adverb?) 🥃 Why does "tonic and gin" sound weird? These questions answered, as well as many more, on Words Unravelled.
