International Literacy Day! How about a grammar and punctuation day?<\/h1>\n

I\u2019m told that today is International Literacy Day. Well I certainly can hardly imagine the horror of not being able to read. It is one of those things we take for granted that impacts our lives nearly every second that we are awake. And I absolutely love reading, both for pleasure, and for the quest for knowledge.<\/p>\n

International Literacy Day\u2026 How I am honoring the day\u2026<\/h2>\n

So what am I reading these days, in honor of National Literacy Day? Operation Jedburgh\u00a0D-Day and America’s First Shadow War by Colin Beavan <\/a>\u2013 I have been blown away by how I did not know anything of this aspect of the pre-D-Day activities and how essential they were to the Allied landing\u2019s success. Were it not for this book, despite my having seen movies about the time period, and despite my having watched the History Channel<\/a>, and despite my having attended lectures on WWII history, ad infinitum, I would not be learning about this. The book, and the ability to read it at my convenience is the essence of a personal reminder of how important literacy is to me.<\/p>\n

International Literacy Day and adding another day or two?<\/h3>\n

However, I\u2019m afraid that as the cell phone and personal device revolution overtakes us all, we will be in much more need of an International Grammar & Punctuation Day in addition to International Literacy Day.<\/p>\n

So let’s add Grammar and Punctuation Days along with International Literacy Day<\/h4>\n

I love those memes<\/a> that point out the proper use of words that are often misused, such as \u201cthey\u2019re\u201d versus \u201cthere\u201d versus \u201ctheir\u201d etc. And even I get lazy sometimes when texting and find myself working to reapply proper capitalization to a text that I created using voice recognition.<\/p>\n

Or worse yet, when the voice recognition doesn\u2019t know what to do with a word I say like \u201cred\u201d — was it \u201cread\u201d or \u201cred\u201d or did I stutter a bit and instead it prints \u201cdread\u201d such that I \u201cdrove that dread car\u201d. Ugh, and Happy International Literacy Day.<\/p>\n
