Product Description
Are you worried that how you speak or write is holding you back at work? Do you fear you're making frequent conversational errors, but just aren't sure what's correct? Ever stumble when choosing between "who" and "whom," "affect" and "effect," "lay" and "lie"? If so, then When Bad Grammar Happens to Good People should be at the top of your reading list. This comprehensive, easy-to-use reference is a program designed to help you identify and correct the most common errors in written and spoken English. After a short and simple review of some basic principles, this book is organized in the most useful way possible-by error type, such as "Problem Pronouns" or "Mixing up Words that Sound the Same." You choose how to work your way through, either sequentially or in the order most relevant to you. Each unit contains tests at the end to help you reinforce what you've learned.

 When Bad Grammar Happens to Good People May 30, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
It was just what I was looking for. I could not remember why I speak the way I do. I needed a refresher course on the rules so that I could help my daughter and a co-worker with their grammar. This book has been a great aide!
 Missing a page December 12, 2006

Page 44 is blank. The sentence that starts on page 43 does not continue on page 45, it is just gone, along with all the other information that is supposed to be on that page.
Also, on page 32 they define adverbs incorrectly. But on page 41, in a more detailed explanation of adverbs, they define the word correctly.
Marvelous, indispensable aid for good writing December 28, 2005
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
If you want a marvelous, indispensable aid for good writing, this book is it. Simple, lively examples are offered along with clear explanations free of jargon. A wonderful gift book.
Because this book has permanent value, it should be in hardcover. The book is better than Strunk.
Enjoy the guidance,
From a would-be writer who appreciates help.
