Very good

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!

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

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.
