Editorial Reviews

AudioFile

Through the delightful voice of Shelly Frasier, author Casagrande gives listeners a set of arrows with which to pierce the grammar snobs’ inflated sense of self-importance, using liberal doses of humor. Thanks to Frasier’s sharp comic timing, you’ll get the full effect of the author’s self-effacing exposé of grammatical crime—and be relieved to know most of the mistakes you’ve been accused of making are usually misdemeanors. Becoming aware of the vast gray zone of usage makes the English language a friendlier place.”

Booklist

Casagrande brings a lively approach to her overview of basic grammar…Both sassy and edifying, Casagrande’s little tome will be especially useful to those in search of basic grammar instruction.”
