Summary of Grammatically Correct

Now in a friendly, accessible format, Writer's Digest's bestselling grammar guide! With Grammatically Correct, readers will be able to solve their grammar dilemmas quickly. This revised edition is:

* Value priced in a handy format, letting readers get the best and most crucial grammar instruction easily and affordably

* Clearly organized, with added appendices and glossaries for quick reference, making it easy to navigate

* Packed with time-tested instruction for all types of writers, with the same appeal, authority, and sound advice as the original

Comprehensive in its coverage of punctuation, spelling, structure, style, usage, and grammar, Grammatically Correct provides the foundations of grammar in the ultimate easy-to-use format.


For those who value correct grammar, Anne Stilman has written the definitive guide. She holds you to her high grammatical standards, and clearly explains how to follow the rules. There are chapters on "Spelling," "Punctuation," "Grammar," and "Style," and Stilman patiently elucidates the rules of colons, brackets, and plural formations, while gracefully tackling the common misuses of "lie" versus "lay." Her illustrative examples bring the stickiest lessons home. Quoting from Woody Allen, Vikram Seth, Mark Twain, and other likable authors, issues of pronoun choice, parallelism, and ellipses come clear. Although Stilman cuts no slack on errors, she concedes that grammar evolves. While she suggests that you avoid splitting infinitives, she also believes you shouldn't introduce excessive awkwardness merely to conform to a rule that was dogmatically decreed years ago for no particular reasons of clarity or merit.
