Book Description:

A whimsical and somewhat subjective guide to English usage, focusing on a wide range of things you're just saying wrong. Or writing wrong. Or spelling wrong. Based on 40 years of teaching college composition, the author deals with affectation, punctuation that matters, eggcorns, confused homonyms, "rules" that are just as well ignored, and things you're just getting wrong.
