Ways to tell them apart:

etymology
  • Remember that grammar is a term used for the set of structural rules in a language, while grammer is not a recognized word in English.
  • Grammar is often thought of like a set of rules, while grammer might remind you of a hammer, which suggests construction, but it doesn't build anything in language.
  • The correct spelling, grammar, contains two as, while grammer mistakenly substitutes a second a with an e.
  • To correctly use grammar, remember it is as basic and foundational as following a set of instructions, so err in favor of the standard spelling.
  • If youre ever in doubt, recall that both grammar and language contain two a's.
