Grammar for Grads and Go-getters: Get That Job, Get a Better Job, Get That Promotion! Quick and Easy Fixes for Common Grammar Errors

Publisher Marketing: When asked for the secret to his success, industrialist Henry J. Kaiser replied, "Find a need, and fill it." When author Rayn Random heard the Dean of the Graduate School of Journalism at a world acclaimed university say, "It serves you and I." she realized that the English language was in urgent need of repair, and she began writing down the most glaring and repeated errors that she heard and read. After several years of that note-taking, she now explains, briefly and clearly, and corrects the most common and frequently repeated errors in Grammar for Grads and Go-getters. Grammar for Grads and Go-getters is an easy read and a quick reference for everyone, from presidents and Ph. D.'s to recent high school and college graduates just entering the world of work and business. Because these errors are so prevalent, they're easy to pick up, and almost everyone who does even a quick flip through this book is likely to find something in his or her own speaking and writing that could use a little fix. Rayn Random grew up in a family that included college professors from England and the United States and two grandmothers, all of whom strictly insisted on correct grammar. She also credits her Wisconsin grade school that emphasized the teaching of proper English usage.
