Grammar for Grown-ups: Everything you need to know but never learnt in school

Description

Do you know how to use semicolons, where to put your apostrophes and when to use commas? Do you know the difference between affect and effect, if and whether, or who and whom? Do you know why this stuff matters? If you've reached a stage in your career or education where your writing needs to be high quality, Grammar for Grown-ups is a must for your top drawer. Vocational rather than academic, Grammar for Grown-ups is packed with real-life examples and keeps you engaged with a wealth of great quotations from Homer the Greek to Homer the Simpson. Straight talking and methodical, Craig Shrives draws on his years as an intelligence officer as well as over a decade spent compiling his popular grammar website to present a comprehensive but lighthearted and easily digestible grammar reference guide.

Craig Shrives and Paul Easter are officers serving with the Intelligence Corps. Craig is the author of the bestselling Grammar Rules and (with Paul) Balance-Today.org, a reference site that analyses popular and topical stories featuring bias and fallacious reasoning to highlight the consequences of poor critical thinking and prejudiced messaging.
