Grammar can be fun or at least funny
Who ever said that grammar can't be fun?  Here is an article that includes some humorous rules for writing.  William Safire calls them fumblerules or “perverse rules of grammar.”   

For example,
  • A writer must be not shift your point of view.
  • Just between you and I, the case of pronoun is important.
  • Mixed metaphors are a pain in the neck and ought to be weeded out.
  • Write all adverbial forms correct.
  • If I've told you once, I've told you a thousand times, resist hyperbole.

Enjoy!
