Question:
Does anyone know of any books on English Grammar worth reading? Jesus I need
to brush up. Looking at my sp I realized slowly my brain is turning into
mush. My grammar skills are going to shit!
Answer:
"Elements of Style," (Strunk & White)--definitely.
I've also found a simple little book called "Woe Is I" by
Patricia T. O'Connor. She's a former editor of the New York Times
Book Review, as written guest columns for William Safire in the
NYT magazine section, and conducted grammar courses for NYT
writers.
It's very readable, with info in small bites (eg, "Saying is
Believing: How to Write What You Mean," and "Comma Sutra: The Joy
of Punctuation.") It's actually the first reference I grab when
I'm in doub.t
