Great resource
The Grammar Girl podcast and web site are great resources, especially for those who work with English. As an editor/proofreader, I often find the insights useful, or at least useful reminders. As an English lover, I find the language quirks presented to be interesting, and as an English teacher, I find the simple, straightforward descriptions and explanations helpful for coming up with ways to explain difficult or tricky concepts to my students.
Bite-Sized Grammar Bits
This is a great little podcast. As an English teacher in Japan, I find it useful as it often reinforces some grammar points I knew instinctively and corrects some of my misconceptions or grammar that has changed since I was a student many years ago.
I often find it coincidentally discusses grammar points that recently come up with students or colleagues.
I love Grammar Girl
I have been listening to the GG podcast from 2010 till now. Really good stuff. Always good to get a refreshers course , daily, while driving.
