This clever, straightforward, and very useful "examination of usage, grammar, and spelling mistakes" was born from a photocopied list of common linguistic pitfalls that California high school teacher Sue Sommer distributed to her classes annually. As the handmade reference grew each year, Sommer heard from students who carried the "Bug-Rev" to college and beyond, parents who wanted their own copies, and friends looking for a user-friendly grammar guide. Fortunately, The Bugaboo Review is now available to the masses! From "accept vs. except" to the appropriate time to employ the second-person "you," this alphabetical smattering of commonly misspelled or misused words and phrases--including artful examples, memorable mnemonics, and amusingly clarifying illustrations--will become a cherished reference for all students and professionals, grammarphiles and grammarphobes alike.
