The rules matter, and they’re often changing, which keeps writers on their toes and sparks grammar debates to delight the inner geek in all of us.

In this episode, Grant and Brooke delve into perfectionism, the rules (and when to break them), and editing. And if grammar intimidates you, don’t worry, you’re still gonna love this episode.
