Описание: The only fun, friendly, and surefire defense against the grammar snobs

Having already made a name for herself with Grammar Snobs Are Great Big Meanies, now in its fifth printing, June Casagrande returns with Mortal Syntax, taking on the 101 most frequently attacked usage choices. Dedicating one short chapter to each, Casagrande brings her subject to life, teaching English usage through lively and amusing personal anecdotes. Mortal Syntax includes such chapters as:
? "I wish I was taller"
? "I am continuously watching Simpsons reruns"
? "Was it Horton that heard the Who?"

Casagrande's clear and concise lessons-with entertaining titles and themes-make a potentially prickly subject go down like a spoonful of sugar.

Описание: This innovative, humorous writing book from grammar-snobhating June Casagrande shows students and professionals alike how to craft bold, effective, reader-friendly sentences, one after another.
This feisty guide goes beyond punctuation or grammatical correctness to focus on constructing effective, "reader-serving" sentences. Only by paying attention to writing's unit of meaning--the sentence--will writers be able to create memorable prose. The subject of improving one's writing at the sentence level is broad enough to appeal to a wide range of writers, yet specific enough to distinguish itself amid the many writing guides on the market. The author's spunky style and authoritative writing and grammar platform make her a writers' writer. With chapters on "Conjunctions that Kill" and "Words Gone Wild," this little guide is the perfect gift for the cheeky wordsmith in your life.
