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.

Описание: What do suicidal pandas, doped-up rock stars, and a naked Pamela Anderson have in common? They re all a heck of a lot more interesting than reading about predicate nominatives and hyphens. June Casagrande knows this and has invented a whole new twist on the grammar book. Grammar Snobs Are Great Big Meanies is a laugh-out-loud funny collection of anecdotes and essays on grammar and punctuation, as well as hilarious critiques of the self-appointed language experts.

Chapters include:

I m Writing This While Naked The Oh-So Steamy Predicate Nominative

Semicolonoscopy Colons, Semicolons, Dashes, and Other Probing Annoyances

I ll Take "I Feel Like a Moron" for $200, Alex When to Put Punctuation Inside Quotation Marks

Snobbery Up with Which You Should Not Put Up Prepositions

Is That a Dangler in Your Memo or Are You Just Glad to See Me?

Hyphens Life-Sucking, Mom-and-Apple-Pie-Hating, Mime-Loving, Nerd-Fight-Inciting Daggers of the Damned

Casagrande delivers practical and fun language lessons not found anywhere else, demystifying the subject and taking it back from the snobs. In short, it s a grammar book people will actually want to read just for the fun of it."
