Wollman, professor and author of A Critical Companion to the American Stage Musical "English Grammar: 100 Tragically Common Mistakes (and How to Correct Them) is a pithy compendium of grammar pet peeves that most English (and non-English) faculty members want to swat out of their students' writing. Each of the 100 entries has a quick quip, an example of the grammar faux pas, a concise fix, and an occasional fun fact or need-to-know information. I plan to use this book as a vital part of training the college writing tutors I mentor and as a reference guide for my own writing needs."--Sandra Yannone, MFA, PhD, director of the Evergreen College Writing Center and author of Boats for Women (Salmon Poetry, 2019), "This wonderful, clever little book is chock-full of hilarious explanations and corrections for all the most common grammatical errors--rules I am still fuzzy about after years of writing, and errors I see over and over in student writing, all over social media, and, shockingly, even in advertisements and professional print!
