Carpe Grammer

Carpe Grammer is a prase popularized by English teachers, who will often give a pep talk at the start of the year in an effort to rouse the class, 90% who could care less, into being excited about grammer.

Often used at the end of said speach.
Teacher-"....Therefore class, I want each and every one of you to make an effort to better your grammer, and language skills every day, Carpe Grammer!"
