Book Reviews of The Writer's FAQ's: A Pocket Handbook (3rd Edition)
Book Review: Primrose Path of Grammatical Dalliance
Summary: 2 Stars
Check out Section 4: "Variety," in which the author manages to think that the sentence "The school band, who performed at the local Apple Festival, were a great success" is acceptable. Where is her section on collective nouns when she needs it? *Which* performed. *Was* a great success. I don't ask for much from a style manual, but I do ask that it does not at least reinforce for my students the kinds of errors they are already making.
