Grammar Girl
I totally have to give a plug to Grammar Girl. She is part of the Quick and Dirty Now network where you can get quick and dirty tips on anything from travel to money to legal issues.
I stumbled on Grammar Girl when I first plugged in my iPod and I've been hooked ever since. So much so that I've downloaded all the earlier podcasts so I can listen to them as well.
You can listen on your computer or download the podcasts into any mp3 player (via iTunes) for FREE and tune in to Grammar Girl talking about such issues as comma splices, regionalisms, or how to use a colon (please refrain from any scatological jokes in the Comments section).
The podcasts are no longer than a few minutes each week, but it sure beats listening to the smug guy in front of me in Starbucks ordering his grande Raspberry Caramel Frappuccino with skim milk, and it's a ton more entertaining than my Chicago Manual of Style!
Go on...Check her out!
