In no time, you will learn how to:
- Recognize and rectify embarrassing grammatical mistakes
- Improve the clarity of what you say and write

Great quick reference for grammar rules in workplace
2010/4/13
形式:ペーパーバック|Amazonが確認した購入
Booher's Rules of Business Grammar is a handy reference book for grammar rules in the workplace. The larger style guides like Covey's and Gregg's, although great guides, are large and cumbersome. Booher's is small enough to keep right by your computer for ease in picking up and reviewing quickly. Because it addresses the most common errors I see in business documents, most of what I need is at hand. I don't have to search indexes to find what I need, and struggle back and forth until I find the exact section. I suggest this book as a handy, dandy business tool.

A must-have for anyone who writes--for business or pleasure
2008/11/27
形式:ペーパーバック
This is a first-rate reference book not only for "business grammar"-but for anyone who ever writes. It contains all the rules we were taught-but may have forgotten.
Booher suggests you test your grammar IQ online at www.BooherRules.com BEFORE you read word one in her book.
In my case, you can always tell how meaningful a book is by the number of little sticky notes marking pages. A sampling of my tabs starts at the dreaded lay/lie, and include who/whom, good/well, me/myself, and he/him and me/my. I now know the rules (again).
As a copyeditor, one of the things I try to show writers is the overuse of throwaway words like: There is (many reasons for this decision). It could be stronger to say: Reasons for the decision are many. The other part is the common misuse of there's (there is) followed by a plural noun-requiring are, not is-like in example above (many/is).
By the way, words like there is/are are called "expletives," - a word that has nothing grammatically to do with the rest of the sentence (fake subject in place of real subject's slot). See, now you learned something new-so stop using expletives.
This and many grammar rules we learned in middle and high school are described, and incorrect and correct usages are shown and explained. It is SO user-friendly.
Each short one-subject chapter ends with a memory tip that sums up the point.
I believe for most writers it's not really necessary to know if you are using an "irregular verb" (like to go, to do, to come, to see). It is important that you understand the rules and use grammar correctly.
If you agree that we are dumbing down America as related to how we speak and write, raise your hand. Sadly not everyone agrees with me that speaking and writing correctly is important-no, vital-in how we are viewed in our business, community and the world. This is the royal "we," as in Americans.
Any book that helps you to write better, clearer and with more accuracy, needs to be read and then kept as a reference. Booher's book belongs on your shelf at home and desk in the office.
Armchair Interviews says: A must have for anyone who talks or writes-and that's all of us. The information will really increase your confidence when writing.

A Helpful Resource for Everyone
2008/11/19
形式:Kindle版
I've found this book to be a very helpful resource as I write articles for the monthly newsletter at the nonprofit agency where I work.. I was surprised to find mistakes that I often make without realizing it. Booher's book highlights these common mistakes in a style that is fun to read, and easy to remember. I'm looking forward to reading more!
