I love grammar. No, really. I do. Now, I don’t always use it correctly, and Lord knows I can’t spell my way out of a paper sack. But I enjoy the daily challenge of mastering the English language; that’s important because I sort of write and speak it for a living.

All that to say that my favorite Twitter-er of the moment is @APStylebook.

Recent lessons learned include:

· Smokey is celebrating his 65th birthday. Smokey Bear, not Smokey the Bear

· Fiscal year refers to the 12-month period a corporation or government body uses for bookkeeping purposes

· Capitalize references to the U.S. Constitution with or without the U.S. modifier: The president said he supports the Constitution.
