Useful and fun
1 de octubre de 2010
Por Arsen Azizyan
- Publicado en Amazon.com
Formato:Tapa blanda|Compra verificada por Amazon
This is an essential handbook for any grammar Nazi. Prepare to have many persistent doubts dispelled and nagging questions settled - not only about grammar and spelling, but also pronunciation (including that of the word "pronunciation"). This book will help you feel even more annoyingly superior to the uneducated unfortunates around you.
What's more, the sample sentences in the book are almost worth the price by themselves. "A gradual crescendo in the percussion section reached a climax that woke the audience." "When he's not fighting crime, Bruce dresses like a normal adult."
These days, as our entire nation has forgotten the use of the apostrophe, everyone could use at least one grammar book on their shelves, and I can't think of a clearer and friendlier one than this.

A fun way to learn grammar

It is hard to believe that a college professor would choose, for a text book, a book that is this much fun to read. I am taking a ministry of writing class in divinity school and we are using this book as a grammar review. I have already learned some "rules" that I don't remember learning in my Engilish classes years ago. O'Conner makes the "rules" easy to remember.

Enjoyable Guide to Those Pesky Grammar Issues
1 de noviembre de 2010
Por k8inut
- Publicado en Amazon.com
This is a very user-friendly guide to many common grammar issues that is easy to read and doesn't take itself too seriously. As the chapter titles (listed below) show, the author is trying to make a fairly dry subject area more interesting.
The chapters are as follows:
Therapy for Pronoun Anxiety
Blunders with Numbers
The Possessives and the Possessed
Putting Verbs in Their Place
Words on the Endangered List
How to Be Letter Perfect
Talking Points on Pronunciation
The Joy of Punctuation
The Complete Dangler - A Fish out of Water
Do Cliches Deserve to Die?
Let Bygone Rules Be Gone
How to Write What You Mean
The author uses a lot of examples to show how to properly remedy the issues that are addressed in the book, and the examples are good illustrations of the issue. It makes a good reference to review common grammar issues. It would also make a great guide for anyone who wants to learn to be more gramatically correct.
