* Present and Post the Word of the Day. Introduce and post the word of the day and its definition, using it in a sentence. Additional things to give: its correct pronunciation if necessary, its definition and origin, synonyms and antonyms.
* Explain the duties of the Grammarian.
* Track each member’s use of the Word of the Day during the meeting, noting those who used it correctly or incorrectly.
* Listen to everyone’s word usage. Write down any awkward use or misuse of the language (incomplete sentences, sentences that change direction in midstream, incorrect grammar, or malapropisms) with a note of who erred. For example, point out if someone used a singular verb with a plural subject. “One in five children wear glasses” should be “One in five children wears glasses.” Note when a pronoun is misused. “No one in the choir sings better than her” should be “No one in the choir sings better than she.”
