Identifying hundreds ofcommon language miscues, Yeager providesan astute look at the world of words and howwe abuse them every day.For the grammar snobs looking for any port ina storm of subpar syntax, or the self-confessedrubes seeking a helping hand, this witty guide cantransform even the least literate into the epitomeof eloquence.
