Grammar Without Grief

Le travail colle a cause de l'organisation sympathique aux lecteurs et soucieuse de l'essentiel. L'essentiel c'est tout d'abord le titre qui attire les lecteurs et resume le travail. L'essentiel ce sont ensuite les premieres frases qui identifient les idees de l'auteur. L'essentiel ce sont aussi les paragraphes suivants qui justifient le parti pris de l'ecrivain. L'essentiel ce sont enfin les toutes dernieres frases qui resument le precedent et impressionnent les lecteurs. En fait, mieux connaitre les gens et les idees, mieux faire son travail, mieux attirer les lecteurs et mieux gagner de l'argent! Pas mal, ca.

A great book for grammatical reference, especially well done in terms of organization by alphabetical order. It gives you descriptive explanations about some obscure things we use all the time in speech without knowing it. Things such as jargon, euphemisms, morphemes and phonemes are covered in addition to the classic grammatical necessities. Highly recommended.

A paper sticks together with a good organization that is easy for readers to follow and that pays attention to the important points; repetition of key ideas and terms; a tell-all title; and a thesis statement or topic sentence that leads into a tightly organized discussion all the way to a logically convincing ending. All this comes about by identifying and sticking to who to write for, why write and what to write about. Perhaps most important of all is knowing who the readers are: the better you know them, the better you know what to tell them. Martin Steinmann and Michael Keller's GRAMMAR WITHOUT GRIEF helps with just about every writing problem around. It fills the shelf with Mary Jordan Meiser's GOOD WRITING!, James A. Reinking's STRATEGIES FOR SUCCESSFUL WRITING, and William Knowlton Zinsser's ON WRITING WELL.
