another mistake September 13, 2000

I read a review and it inspired me to say that on the cover it states: "-for anyone else who wants to improve their written communcations..." >To me communication should never be plural(it is an non-coutable noun.

This book was a great help. The short chapters are broken down into subchapters followed by exercises. The book is clear, direct and easy to follow. It covers many terms and rules I remembered hearing in school, but didn't grasp. They are presented in a format that I could study on my own; I use it as a quick reference when I'm not sure of something. It's great as a remedial book and in the same category as Painless Grammar.
A very good book! November 6, 1999

This is a very good book, no matter what the "reader from Maryland" says below ... s/he is just simply _wrong_ about grammar - the phrase on the cover is perfectly correct. This is really a very useful book. You won't regret it if you buy it.

I find it hard to take seriously a book that has a grammar mistake on the cover of the book. Notice, if you will, the third bullet on the cover -- the one that says "For anyone else who wants their written communications to be more powerful and professional." Every grammar book I've ever read, including "Bedford's Handbook for Writers," tells me that indefinite pronouns are singular. In other words, it should have read "For anyone else who wants his written communications to be more powerful and professional." If you don't like to use he because of political correctness, you can always say anyone else who wants his or her. Anyway, it doesn't make me very confident of the ability of a book to improve my grammar when the editor cant catch a simple mistake on the cover.
