10 Simple Ways for Writers to Improve Copy - E-book - ePub

As a linguist, former teacher and tech writer, Vlad made it his business to understand the English language. Having seen grammatical and mechanical errors people make in their writing, he chose 10 of the most common mistakes and wrote a guide on how to correct them. Most confusing to people are apostrophes with singular & plural possessive pronouns, regular/irregular plural nouns, and proper nouns.
Other concerns are comma splices and run on sentences. The use of periods, Oxford commas, and rules to capitalize are covered. Numbering properly has a purpose and requires a consistent style. The book's content is well researched and has many source notes included. The layout is simple and right to the point. If you're pressed for time, open the table of contents, find your topic, fix it, and get on with your writing. Note: This book is only for American use as British English has their own rules.
