It’s chock full of common grammatical errors you should avoid (and the rationale behind including them) if you don’t want to look like an idiot.
Here are ten helpful tips (and pet hates of mine)…
- Apostrophes
- Moot v Mute point
- Affect v Effect
- New lease of life v New lease on life
- On having and eating cakes
- Regardless v Irregardless (a mistake I made the other day)
- Commas - particularly the Oxford Comma the final comma in a list (before the and)
- Hyphenation
- Hyphens and Dashes
- Lite/nite/thru
- Capitalising job titles
And grammatical fallacies that will help you avoid looking like a goose when you correct other people.
