Title: Terrible presentation
Product review: This book, for anybody unfortunate enough to waste their money on it, will confuse far more than it will help. Prescriptive grammar has never worked; yet it is regrettably surviving from the past. Grammarians,like lexicographers, should actively observe and report,from a longitudinal perspecdtive, the actual changes in the usage of a given language, not only among scholars but in every venue, in every walk of life.I purchased this book for a foreign student who went to an American college. I saw no improvement; in fact, dare I say it, it may actually have had a negative effect on his learning.
