I know that today's #WritersCoffeeClub question intends "grammar" as a catch-all word, but as writers we do know that grammar, syntax, punctuation, and spelling are different things, don't we? Don't we?
@joyce I would say syntax and punctuation are usually taught under the rubric of grammar, or "things that make your sentences grammatical" in school, so the confusion is not unfounded.
Agreed. Yet it seems to me that if language is the tool of our trade, we ought to know all we can about it. Maybe I'm just being a fussy, pedantic old academic.
