Episode Date: March 5, 2025

This book title is filled with grammar lessons. Learn more on today's episode of Grammar Minute!

Welcome to the Grammar Minute, where we're saving the English language 60 seconds at a time. I'm Lauren Smith, and today we have a fresh candidate for the grammar Hall of Shame. I recently came across a book in a coffee shop called You're Okay, Your Dog's Okay. There were some problems with this. First of all, the only capitalized word in the title was the first one, which left most of the book's title in kind of unimpressive lowercase. The second problem with this title was the spelling of okay, which had both letters, lowercase. Turns out there's actually a fairly long history behind why this is wrong, and it's

pretty interesting. Or at least, I as a grammar fiend, think so. We'll cover these errors and this history in this week's episodes of Grammar Minute. Meanwhile, you can visit Thegrammerminut.com for more tips and tricks. And if you're interested in picking up a new read, visit laurencemithbooks.com, and that's Smith with a why.
