Terrified of using “who” when a “whom” is called for? Do you avoid the words “lay” and “lie” altogether? Grammar Girl is here to help! Mignon Fogarty, a.k.a. Grammar Girl, is determined to wipe out bad grammar—but she’s also determined to make the process as painless as possible. One year ago, she created a weekly podcast to tackle some of the most common mistakes people make while communicating. The podcasts have now been downloaded more than seven million times, and Mignon has dispensed grammar tips on Oprah and appeared on the pages of The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and USA Today. Written with the wit, warmth, and accessability that the podcasts are known for, Grammar Girl’s Quick and Dirty Tips for Better Writing covers the grammar rules and word-choice guidelines that can confound even the best writers. From “between vs. among” and “although vs. while” to comma splices and misplaced modifiers, Mignon offers memory tricks and clear explanations that will help readers recall and apply those troublesome grammar rules. Chock-full of tips on style, business writing, and effective e-mailing, Grammar Girl’s print debut deserves a spot on every communicator’s desk. </div></div> 2353745 2007 Grammar Girl's Quick and Dirty Tips for Better Writing total:130|5:5|4:3|3:2|2:2|1:0| 130 542 323 43 5 5 false false Tue Jul 08 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Wed Jul 09 05:49:52 -0700 2008 Wed Jul 09 05:59:24 -0700 2008 more...]]> 5 2 false false Sun Mar 16 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sun Mar 16 20:51:01 -0700 2008 Sun Mar 16 21:03:42 -0700 2008 more...]]> 3 1 false false Thu Apr 02 07:39:53 -0700 2009 Thu Apr 02 07:46:22 -0700 2009 Mignon Fogarty goes by “Grammar Girl” on the Internet.
