Summary
Unlike, say, Latin, English is a livinglanguage - and, like all living things, it grows, it changes, and it can be messy and confusing. With this witty, best-selling guide to grammar, you can get a grasp on the subtleties of the language - without the kind of jargon that tempted you to cut your high-school English class. Former New York Times Book Revieweditor Patricia O'Conner offers a delightfully down-to-earth course for anyone who wants to speak and write more clearly, in ten easy lessons. 'Light-hearted and funny... It's like Strunk and White combined with S. J. Perelman - none of whom would have had the slightest objection.' Daniel Pinkwater, The New York Times Book Review 'Wow! Who would have thought that you could have such a delicious time with a grammar book? Woe is Iis great fun.' Susan Isaacs
