Welcome to the home of The Awkward Adverb, a monthly newsletter that picks on an English-language error found in print, on a public sign, or on the Internet. The Awkward Adverb is meant to be humorous and a little sarcastic, and it should not be taken too seriously. No self-improvement advice, dull news items, or get-rich-quick ideas will ever be published in The Awkward Adverb.

Click through the growing archives to see what it’s all about, and then sign up to receive each issue when it’s sent out. The e-mail address you supply in the form below won’t be used for any other purpose than to receive the newsletter.

If you have a grammatical pet peeve or an image of an error that you think would be appropriate for a future issue of The Awkward Adverb, feel free to get in touch with me on the Contact page.
