Here are some interesting and unusual sites for you to visit.

Grammar sites:
Big Dog’s Grammar
This is a great site to polish all of the grammar rules you didn’t know or have forgotten.
Common Errors in English
This site is by Paul Brians, a Professor of English at Washington State University. Read this opening page (and read all of it) for a very insightful look as to why Professor Brians created it, and how it can help you. One of Professors Brians’ reasons? “ . . . to help you avoid low grades, lost employment opportunities, lost business, and titters of amusement at the way you write or speak.”
Purdue University’s OWL
This site comes from Purdue University and is their “OWL” or Online Writing Lab. It has a lot of good information, including: grammar, spelling, and punctuation, research and documenting sources (including MLA and APA styles), and professional writing (such as resumes and cover letters).
Guide to Grammar and Writing
Another great site for grammar and writing hints, PowerPoints, and search devices. This one is by Charles Darling, Professor of English at Capital Community College.
