Have fun learning to avoid Englishβs pitfalls.
English can be beastly. With all its soundalike and lookalike words, its peculiar punctuation rules, its ridiculous spelling inconsistencies, and those teeny-tiny apostrophes that love landing in all the wrong places, writing can get downright intimidating.
HAVE NO FEAR! Unflubbify Your Writing is here! Packed with fun examples, this book shows you how to:
- Keep spellings straight: capital and capitol, stationary and stationery, forego and forgo, etc.
- Avoid comma splices and grocerβs apostrophes.
- Pluralize last names.
- Understand when to use fewer instead of less.
- Use i.e. and e.g. correctly.
- Know whenβand when notβto capitalize mom and dad.
These little lessons are amusing, irreverent, memorable, and nothing like any English class youβve ever attended. Before long, youβll feel more confident in your writing and notice that youβre enjoying it more than ever.
Get one book for yourself and a few extras for:
- Your retired-English-teacher mother.
- Your nephew whoβs heading to college.
- Your friend who wants to write her memoir.
- That coworker who always says antidote when he means anecdote.
Please note that occasionally, this book leans a little racy, so itβs probably most appropriate for teenagers and grownups.
