Online sensation Grammar Girl makes grammar fun and easy in
this New York Times bestseller Are you
stumped by split infinitives? Terrified of using “who” when
a “whom” is called for? Do you avoid the words “affect” and
“effect” altogether? Grammar Girl is here to help!
Mignon Fogarty, a.k.a. Grammar Girl, is determined to
wipe out bad grammar—but she’s also determined to make the
process as painless as possible. A couple of years ago, she
created a weekly podcast to tackle some of the most common
mistakes people make while communicating. The podcasts have
now been downloaded more than twenty million times, and
Mignon has dispensed grammar tips on Oprah and
appeared on the pages of The New York Times, The
Wall Street Journal, and USA Today. Written
with the wit, warmth, and accessibility that the podcasts
are known for, Grammar Girl’s Quick and Dirty Tips for
Better Writing covers the grammar rules and word-choice
guidelines that can confound even the best writers. From
“between vs. among” and “although vs. while” to comma
splices and misplaced modifiers, Mignon offers memory tricks
and clear explanations that will help readers recall and
apply those troublesome grammar rules. Chock-full of tips on
style, business writing, and effective e-mailing, Grammar
Girl’s print debut deserves a spot on every communicator’s desk.
