Grammar Rules: What To Keep And When To Ignore

Cracking Copy

Today’s episode is for you if you either find grammar a complete nightmare or love it and want to be inspired to break the rules for maximum effect.

We discuss a few grammar rules that we think are important. We only really scratch the surface of this massive (and often contentious) topic. And you may absolutely disagree with some of our thoughts. In which case please do let us know by contacting us and joining in the conversation.

We also think that there are grammar rules that can be broken. We look at some of these and explain why breaking rules can be a powerful tool to use to get your brand to stand out.

Are you a stickler for correct grammar or are you more relaxed about its usage? Tune in and find out if you agree with us…
