Bad Grammar And Brass Monkeys: How To Improve Your Bloody Grammar And Writing Style

BAD GRAMMAR AND BRASS MONKEYS is the ideal resource for university students to improve their English, a practical guide through the obstacle course of grammar, punctuation, proofreading and editing. It provides fun, humorous and easy to follow strategies for understanding the rules of grammar and punctuation and perfecting written assignments.Are you sick and tired of spending hour after hour writing an essay, often finishing it at the last minute, only to have it returned with less than a stellar grade, accompanied all too often with unkind remarks? You do not have to take it anymore; help is right inside this book.The purpose of this book is to improve your writing towards an academic level by reducing many of the types of mistakes frequently found in the work of students. It is a practical guide rather than a grammar or punctuation text, and uses endless examples to illustrate the explanations, instead of providing a tedious list of grammar rules to memorize and give you headaches. Many examples illustrate the difference between British and American English. The focus of this book is grammar, punctuation and academic writing skills, with unique methods of self-editing and proofreading your work devised by the author after years of writing and editing the work of many others. Although the book will be especially useful for UK University students at all levels, it is equally useful for lower-level students, as well as users of American English, and especially ESL students. It is also recommended as a good review before writing an SAT essay.
