It will help you to not look like you never had an English course in your life. This book is one of the best I've seen on grammar and here is the best feature:A large portion of this book is dedicated to homonyms - words which sound alike or are spelled alike, but have different meanings.Why is this important? Because these are the words which your auto correction/spelling checker miss - i.e. they are spelled correctly but with the wrong meaning so you end up looking like an idiot.The simplest example is your rushing to finish you're article and you use your & you're incorrectly as I just did. Your spelling checker won't catch that so you better be sharp and use the correct word.Your/You're is an basic example - this book covers many many more plus it covers punctuation etc etc.I'm glad I bought it - I use it about once a week or so.I hate teaching grammar... Let’s be honest. No one is purchasing this book because it’s an exciting read and there are plans to release a movie version soon. You need a grammar book that will allow you to reference something quickly, such as using the correct form of ‘effective’ or how you should avoid using the word ‘literally’ when what you really mean is ‘virtually’. If that’s what you’re after, then this is the book for you. As an English teacher, I’m always on the lookout for an easy to use, teacher-friendly grammar book. What I liked most about this book was its organization and length. It cut right to the chase and focused on the most important parts of grammatically correct writing.The organization of the workbook is its strong suit. It is easy to reference a particular rule or topic. Chapter Five is entitled; Confusing Words and Homonyms. It is a concise list of words that are often misused and confused. I use the list in my classroom every day! Literally, every day!Excellent 2014 Update Makes A Worthy Addition To My Library I regularly write letters to clients of our firm, and the Blue Book has been absolutely instrumental for proper grammar and punctuation. I was delighted to see this new edition — this update and revision does not disappoint! Being a weekly newsletter subscriber, I can appreciate the number of man-hours and meticulous research Mr. Kaufman and Mr. Stern devoted to this project. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but it would be a shame if would-be purchasers paid attention to a critical review over the mistaken notion that one word was supposedly used improperly. After all, anybody can put anything up on the web, but this book had to be reviewed and edited multiple times before publication. The 2014 version of the Blue Book is a worthy addition to my library. I look forward to referring to it frequently and often!
