This definitive guide tackles some of the most persistent and egregious errors in English grammar that continue to plague both writers and speakers. Drawing on nearly two decades of meticulous observation, author Roger Challoner Green has compiled the mistakes he sees made most frequently, despite many having already worked their way into accepted modern usage. Unlike English grammar guides that focus on teaching rules, this book concentrates specifically on calling out misuse. The author doesn't argue scholarly grammar but instead appeals to longstanding conventions and preservation of the highest literary standards. Areas of particular concern covered include subject-verb agreement, adjective-noun agreement, dangling participles, and illogical comparisons among them. While acknowledging that language evolves, the author maintains firm views on upholding established guidelines. This guide book will resonate with readers frustrated by the increasing abandonment of good grammar and looking to bolster their own skills. Both informative and droll, Common English Grammar Mistakes serves as an essential tool for writers, editors, and language mavens alike.
