Riassunto

Have fun learning to avoid English’s 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 grocer’s apostrophes.
• Pluralize last names.
• Understand when to use fewer instead of less.
• Use i.e. and e.g. correctly.
• Know when—and when not—to capitalize mom and dad.

These little lessons are amusing, irreverent, memorable, and nothing like any English class you’ve ever attended. Before long, you’ll feel more confident in your writing and notice that you’re enjoying it more than ever.

Get one book for yourself and a few extras for:

• Your retired-English-teacher mother.
• Your nephew who’s 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 it’s probably most appropriate for teenagers and grownups.
