About the Author

Meagan Michelle's passion for grammar has dragged her across the world!

This time, she's in Ciudad de Guatemala (because "Guatemala City" is just an English corruption of a perfectly good proper noun).

Her goal in Guatemala is to learn to speak and read Spanish, and to get to know our continental neighbors in Central America.

Meagan Michelle teaches English, TOEFL, and SAT/ACT classes at Oxford Language Center in Guatemala.

Meagan Michelle loves cosmetics, history, traveling, and learning about different languages.  She is particularly interested in Spanish, Mandarin Chinese, German, ASL, French, and Korean.

At the age of 13, inspired by Tolkien's tengwar, she created her own phonetic alphabet of 48 characters when she was supposed to be doing algebra.  However, because writing it was cumbersome, she later abandoned her alphabet in favor of a modified Sindarian-style tengwar.  (Tolkien himself said that Sindarian was more suited for English adaptation than Quenya.)

Meagan Michelle has strong feelings about the use of who and whom, the Oxford Comma, as well as subject-confusion in general.
