520    "Penned by a former writer who had to teach himself the 
       rules of English grammar, A Few Words About Words offers 
       an easy and accessible approach to understanding and using
       the English language. In a world dominated by countless 
       print media and social media outlets, written 
       communication is king. Writing "your" when you mean 
       "you're" and "there" when you mean "they're" can make the 
       difference between getting or not getting new business. A 
       missing comma can result in a PR catastrophe, and a well-
       written line can be remembered for generations. And yet, 
       many native speakers struggle with the English language. 
       Spawned from the widely-circulated and beloved newsletter 
       of the same name, Joe Diorio's A Few Words About Words 
       blends quick-witted anecdotes from more than 30 years of 
       newsletter entries that highlight the common, uncommon, 
       and surprising grammar mistakes most English speakers 
       make. The result is a digestible, all-encompassing look at
       English grammar. For anyone who has ever wondered whether 
       "also" should follow or precede the verb; if there's a 
       difference between ';preventive' or ';preventative'; or 
       whether the Oxford comma is as important as everyone says 
       it is, A Few Words About Words provides relief for many 
       common grammar anxieties. Humorous, enlightening, and 
       completely comprehensible, A Few Words About Words will be
       the go-to grammar guide you pick up and can't put down."--
