Discover Word Smarts

Who cares about an Oxford Comma? We do! At Word Smarts, we’re passionate about the intricacies that make English such a fascinating, surprising, and, yes, difficult language.

The more obscure the rule, the more excited we are to share it with you. Whether you need a reminder of the differences between en dashes and em dashes or want to learn about the subjunctive (there’s a good chance you sometimes say “If I was…” when you should be saying “If I were…”), you’re in the right place. Word Smarts shares all the tips and tricks you need to become a more polished writer and communicator.

But please don’t think of our daily emails as lectures. We want this to be fun, both for you and us. That’s why we only share the most fascinating facts about our shared language. And lest you worry about tuition, know that Word Smarts is and will always be free. Sign up now to enter a world of words.
