Do you find yourself stuck between floaters and danglers?
Do your subjects and your verbs refuse to agree?
If so, you're not alone. Some of the most prominent professionals

grammatical errors. In this delightfully amusing, clever guide,
Thomas Parrish points out real-life grammar gaffes from top-notch
publications such as the New York Times and the New Yorker to
illustrate just how widespread these errors are. With red pen in

and imparting the basics of good grammar with a charming mixture of
fussiness and common sense. All of which makes The Grouchy
Grammarian the most entertaining, accessible how-not-to guide
