I really wanted to have Grammar Girl on the show during Blogworld, but our camera somehow didn't capture it all. She's great at giving simple tips to help you remember things like the difference between "affect" and "effect" on her Grammer Girl podcast. She just released a new book called The Grammar Girl Devotional.
