I Don't Believe in Introductory Clause

Sprockety-Ya! (A.K.A. Hello!)

We are the Utterers, a group of students from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill obsessed with GRAMMAR. We got hooked on these phonics last semester while taking a class entitled Gram-o-Rama: an exploration of language and grammar as performance art. Since then we have been bewitched by words, invigorated by verbs, and possessed by nouns.

Our Bible is Daphne Athas's GRAM-O-RAMA:

The masterpiece preaches the rules of grammar, and then teaches language-leaches (like us) how to break them. The book does this through exercises that explore the conventions of language and grants us permission to manipulate those conventions to our own ends.

Every two weeks we (The Utterers) will be supplying you (our utterly fabulous reader) with new, never-before-explored exercises. We invite you to take them, do them, love them, and utlitmately unleash grammarchy upon them.

Lexical love,
The Utterers
