- Long time listener
I’ve been listening for over a decade and it’s never repetitive because grammar is complicated. But Mignon distills the info fabulously! I also appreciate the shortness of it. Sometimes I need a quick word nerd fix and this is perfect!
The new interview series is great for longer listens…even if it does put more books on my ever-growing to read list!

Apple Podcasts1zs.taskaiUnited Statesa year ago I have been listening to Grammar Girl since I've been listening to podcasts (2007?). Episode 1082 is the best of so many Bests. I am a grammar enthusiast and use words and writing in my career. Grammar Girl has made me a better linguist and writer, no doubt. Thank you, Mignon, for being so brilliant and so reliable!
