Every single person in the world needs to read Grammar Snobs Are Great Big Meanies: A Guide to Language for Fun and Spite because it is both snarky and informative without being elitist.

I laughed out loud more than once and was genuinely surprised that some of the things I *thought* I knew for certain are actually debatable. June Casagrade compared all the major grammar compendiums and uncovered all kinds of inconsistencies, and yet she still manages to provide real help for those who really don't get grammar.

I give it five stars and a rogue apostrophe.

Hee. Have you read Woe Is I: A Grammarphobe's Guide to Good English? I like that one.

Oh, I love the sounds of this! Must run and add it to my amazon wishlist.
