When it comes to joining Facebook affinity groups, grammar lovers have lots of choices.

Also this week: when to use apostrophes, whether to distinguish between bring and take, and the difference between a murphy and a wedgie.  Hear hundreds of free episodes and learn more on the A Way with Words website: https://waywordradio.org.
