Grammar Can Be Fun, Who Knew?
This excellent book makes a wonderful reference book and is also fun to read cover to cover.
Do you ever wonder which you should use, E.G. or I.E.? I always thought they could be used interchangeably. Actually they can’t. I.E. stands for “that is” or “in other words” while E.G. means “for example”.
If you have any grammar questions but are afraid to ask, most likely you can find it in Grammar Girl’s Quick and Dirty Tips. You can also look for tips on Mignon’s website and she even has an open invitation for people to email her with questions.
I checked this book out from the library but I am going to purchase a copy to have on hand. This book is indispensable!

I think she also does (or at least used to do) a free podcast through iTunes of grammar tips.
Happy New Year Teddy!! I hope you and your Hubby have a brilliant 2009!
Bermudaonion, I’m sure you will like this book.
Meg, I think she has links to her podcasts on her website too.
Happy New Year to you and your family Stephanie!
I saw this at the library too, Teddy, but had my arms full at the time. Next trip, I’ll grab it. Sounds great!
I hope you find it as useful and entertaining as I did, Linda.
I love these books, thanks for the good review.
Anytime Nancy!
Sounds like a fun book, that would help you remember rules.
