Bought the OED, Roget's thesaurus and Warrener English Grammar and Composition books for a friend's son. He is off the generation that first had breakfast classes taken out of the HS and he is hindered because of it.
I have been teaching him myself, but there's are going to be his references. Shame on this country. An otherwise brilliant student is now having problems getting into the MBA program due to the grammar. I mean this be honest he can't tell the reason one uses a comma, semicolon, and a colon. He'll get there if I have to die trying
Great Copy

Decided to buy this from Stephen King’s recommendation in his book On Writing. Easy to understand and very useful!
Great book to improve your communication skills!

Pay no attention to the person leaving a bad review because he/she thought it was for fifth grade! It was written, I believe, for high schoolers and is a good book to improve your knowledge of grammar, which sadly, most of us need!
Americans need this!

Our grammar has become atrocious. I had this book in school and it is still the best guide out there. Be picky and improve your grammar!! The examples are excellent and show both the correct way and the incorrect way to say things. So easy to follow!
