0:00.0 | Grammar Girl here. I'm Minion Fogridi and you can think of me as your friendly guide to |
0:09.2 | the English language. We talk about writing, history, rules, and cool stuff. Today we'll |
0:14.8 | talk about the two spellings of the word stationary. I love the history of one of them. |
0:19.9 | And we'll talk about whether you should correct people's pronunciation. But first, stay |
0:24.3 | with me because I'm giving away money, seriously. We're celebrating the 15th anniversary of |
0:29.9 | the Grammar Girl podcast next week. And my partners at McMillan kept pushing me to make |
0:34.8 | a big deal out of it. But I didn't want to just talk about me or even the show. So I |
0:40.2 | started thinking about what really matters to me. And it's helping people and especially |
0:44.9 | helping people learn. And because of you, the people who listen to this show, which |
0:49.9 | makes everything else I do possible, the books, the courses going on Oprah and the today |

1:15.8 | projects showing what they need for their classroom on Donors Choose, a top-rated charity. |
1:21.5 | And then you back their project and use the code Grammar Girl and I'll match whatever |
1:26.2 | you give until we hit that $7,500 goal. There's also a $1,000 per donation limit. I doubt |
1:32.5 | that's going to be a problem, but I have to say it. So you can give $5 or you can back |
1:37.9 | a whole project. It's up to you. And the thing I really like about Donors Choose is that |
1:43.3 | it's easy to find a teacher in your area. So no matter where you live in the United States, |
1:48.7 | you can almost always find a teacher near you. And you can also filter by things that |
1:53.6 | matter to you, like giving to a teacher at a school where more than half the students |
1:58.0 | come from low-income households or a teacher at a rural school or a teacher who specifically |
