I wasn't good in grammar because they jumped me over basic grammar to honors English. I was so mad, because I wanted to be a writer, so I've had to more or less learn it on my own, plus a college course or two I took.

English for Printers from the ITU (International Typographical Union) is completely no nonsense and designed to look thins up as quickly as possible. My copy is c1945 so it's probably been updated by now. [link\|http://www.aaxnet.com\|AAx]
Post #146,531 by Another Scott 3/16/04 3:04:51 PM Reply	A couple of other books. [link\|http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0679418601/\|The Transitive Vampire] is a fun book on grammar. [link\|http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0395628830/\|The New Well Tempered Sentence] - a book on punctuation, etc., by the same author - may be worth considering too. Cheers, Scott.
