 Very good ( zador10 )
I bought the book because I know the website. The book looks great, I really like the drawings. Very clever, very useful and makes a good present, too.

attention all word-nerds!
Do you say "offen" and like to make fun of the people who say "of-ten" instead???? Then this handy calendar is for you! Have fun proving your vocabulary superiority, and maybe even learn something along the way. My journalist husband comes home with a new nugget of knowledge for me every day :) Highly recommended!

 Tell me something I DON'T know ( ilovehunnibunni )
Were these "common errors" used in the English Language directed to
6th graders? I can't imagine anyone over the age of 17 needing these
explanations and examples. They are simple to the point of being insulting.

Excellent reference
I felt the book was so good that I ordered it for all 3 of my adult children. Public schools do not seem to have the time to teach correct English anymore.

Help for Writers ( kerrwebb )
This book provides help with common language usage questions. As an engineer working for the federal government, writing is a large part of my job. I keep this book next to my computer, and rely on it frequently. The "word in question" and the "correct/incorrect" (or incorrect/correct) format is easy and quick to use; and in many cases the accompanying explanations are the best I've seen.
