Grammar For Success
"Grammar For Success" will guide you through the challenges and intricacies of usage, spelling and punctuation. You won't be loaded down with abstract theories. Grammar will be explained only as it applies to usage…to language in action, to ideas and strategies that you can use everyday of your writing life. First, you will learn how to avoid the 60 most common and serious word mix-ups. English has by far the largest vocabulary in the history of humankind. Our language is the most prolific word-making machine that has ever been invented, with over 616,500 words. That's why there are so many confusable words…mischievous imps such as lie and lay, less and fewer, affect and effect. As concisely as possible, you will learn how to sort them out. Then you will systematically review the most common structural problems that beset pronouns, verbs, modifiers, prepositions and conjunctions.

The man stated, "The one thing we find lacking in college graduates is sound writing skills." Mastery of Grammar and Usage is essential to the creation of written material you can take pride in! | |

"Dear Verbal Advantage, My writing was always good, but my grammar was horrible and I often made small mistakes that made me look less competent and skilled than I was. The program was easy to use, interesting (not boring like I thought it would be) and helped me make changes immediately. The pay-off was when my boss complimented my writing and confided that he had promoted me over another worker because of it!" - Sheryl Lam - Skokie, IL
