 Too Basic November 1, 2007
C. Livermore
The Blue Book is a much better reference and much less expensive. Grammar for Gorwnups is too basic and expensive.

I'm a programmer, not an English teacher. Now that our company has grown and I'm writing more reports (status, progress, etc.), I felt like I needed to work on my writing. I went through this book in about four hours and did most of the practice exercises. And believe it or not, I am actually feeling much better about my writing now.

In our company, at least half of our
employees could improve their writing skills and I find that this is a
great resource because I can use it with entry-level administrative
assistants as well as VP's. We also have many people for whom English
is not their first language and this resource has been very helpful for
them too.

Let me tell you about something embarrassing that happened to me last year. I sent an E-mail to an important client who was angry about a misplaced order. The client replied that he understood what happened and wouldn't hold it against us, which was a relief. Then he pointed out every grammatical error and misplaced comma in my message. For example, I had used "effect" when I meant "affect," and I had created a run-on sentence by using a comma instead of a semicolon. There were other errors as well. After I picked myself up off the floor, I went onto the Internet, looking for help, and I found a great book called Grammar for Grownups. It gave me clear explanations of all those tricky grammar and punctuation rules. It also gave me practice exercises so I could work on my own to improve. Now I proofread every E-mail I send-and now I know what I am looking for.

Grammar for Grownups is an easy to use and very helpful self-paced training program. The lessons are presented clearly with appropriate examples and exercises. Each lesson reviews points of grammar that are basic to good writing.Grammar for Grownups is also a good reference book because it is well organized and therefore it is easy to look up specific topics. Being a busy person, I really appreciate the valuable content and the user-friendly design of this book.
