EDITORIAL REVIEW

Correct grammar and proper spelling can be a challenge, and their absence can be a source of gleeful humor to everyone but the victim of a bad grammar attack. How do you react to sandwich boards, road signs, laminated instructions, and other written missives that are just not exactly what their creator meant? If you’ve ever (gently) judged anyone else for their linguistic failures, if you find yourself guffawing about the frequent confusion between “incontinence” and “inconvenience,” if you’ve ever been tempted to whip out your marker to add in or cross out apostrophes, and if you've refused to answer e-mails in which “your” and “you’re” are used interchangeably, this book is for you. With pictures culled from the Facebook group by the same name, I Judge You When You Use Poor Grammar is a hilarious and eye-opening tour through restaurants and shops, through parking lots and along winding roads, and around the world.

Great gift for those who love grammar.

I bought this for some one who hates poor grammar. She thought it was great. This isn't a book you sit and read but it is entertaining.

Great gift for the "nerd" in the group!

My sister-in-law is constantly correcting grammar. It's like she lives for it! I purchased this book for her as a Christmas gift. I'm sure she will love it. I've already flipped through the entire book and laughed at almost every single photo. Very funny!

Funny!

This is a very short and interesting book. There is no story, just the very good photos of supremely bad use of language. I like it.

Funny!

A compendium of chain-email-like grammar snafus worth a giggle and a space on your coffee table. Makes an excellent gift for co-workers and friends who know and appreciate the difference between their, there and they're.

My only critique would be that sometimes the same jokes (especially incorrect usage of apostrophes) are presented several times.

Laugh-out-loud funny

Sharon Eliza Nichols created a Facebook group dedicated to showing off signs demonstrating poor grammar, punctuation and spelling. So many hilarious examples were discovered that she decided to share them with the rest of the world. This book is chockfull of pictures of pictures of these signs, many of them laugh-out-loud funny. My favorite being the one that reads, "English is our language/no excetions/learn it".

I really enjoyed this book, as did my teenage children. If you want a good laugh, then pick up this book! You won't be disappointed.
