Above are three declarative sentences that mean the same thing. Or do they?

In an online world where communication is vital, never has grammar been more crucial.

Content is more than just blog posts and articles nowadays. There are different content types ranging from videos to images so users can consume information in more than one way online.

To create a useful content, the message videographers and graphic designers are communicating in their videos and images, respectively, is clear and on point.

For the written word, the communication breakdown lies in the poor use of the English language in general.

From the sentence examples above, a misplaced comma or faulty use of the forms of speech draws the line between effective communication and miscommunication.

As bloggers and publishers, you need to ensure the correct use of grammar, punctuation, spelling, vocabulary, and others in your written content. This way, the message you are sharing with your audience is infallible and irrefutable.

For non-writers, it is time for you to geek out for grammar.

It does not matter if you are good at writing. If you want your blog to perform much better with your audience by communicating the right thought, then you should be sensitive enough to apply proper grammar at all times.

If you feel that you are, below is an infographic by Grammarly that profiles a self-professed “grammar nerd.”
