Title: Warriner's English Grammar
Review: I am thrilled to have a copy of this book in my hands once again. It is the text I used in High School. For me, it is the definitive reference for common American English spoken by educated people during the '40's, 50's and 60's. As my English was refined during those decades, "Warriner's" is my first choice for grammar and syntax. All this is to say that "Warriner's" may be out of fashion. In the age of "Word Perfect" and "politically correct", all the new adaptations of English are missing. However, when I am speaking with a person who can explain herself/himself along the lines of "Warriner's", I tend to listen closely and attribute a higher level of intelligence to the speaker. This book remains a valuable tool of the English language.
