From the Back Cover Punctuation...Word Usage...Grammar Issues...It's all in here...and it's all easy to find and easy to understand... "This book anticipates and answers the most common questions asked by educated, curious writers and readers. Whether it is a point of English grammar, mechanics, or word choice, Correct Me If I'm Wrong conveys the information in a logical, conversational, and reassuring tone. Readers are treated to the rules, the exceptions, and clear examples of many tricky aspects of the English language. We read about the hard and fast rules of English: alright is not an accepted spelling. We encounter points of usage that are shifting: placement of the Oxford comma is a matter of choice. And we learn about some plain old myths: you can start a sentence with because! Is it family is or family are? Passed or past? Lead or led? And what is healthfully, anyway? Arlene Miller reveals all. I guarantee that you will want this book in your home collection and will refer to it often." -Susan J.
