speeches, I talk to the press about language (especially about new words and
slang), and, as you can see, I write books about it. I want others to see what I
see: with a little bit of help, anyone can improve their communication.
Since you’re reading this, there’s a good chance you or someone you know
needs help with their language. To help as many people as possible, I’ve written
this book to be useful for a wide range of readers, writers, and learners: junior
high, high school, and college students; graduate students who speak English as
a second (or even third) language; or business professionals and community
leaders who need a refresher on grammar points they last thought about decades
ago.
This book does not cover all of English grammar. Instead, it contains
frequently asked questions I’ve encountered from writers, speechmakers, and
language learners of all ages and kinds. It also includes facts that were eye-
openers for me when I first started on my journey of communicating better. I
hope this book will be your trusted companion as you express all that you have
to say.
