The antidote to "Eats, Shoots and Leaves"aan uproarious and very
American language book for those who are tired of getting pulled
over by the grammar police
What do suicidal pandas, doped-up rock stars, and a naked Pamela
Anderson have in common? Theyare all a heck of a lot more
interesting than reading about predicate nominatives and hyphens.
June Casagrande knows this and has invented a whole new twist on
the grammar book. "Grammar Snobs Are Great Big Meanies" is a
laugh-out-loud funny collection of anecdotes and essays on grammar
and punctuation, as well as hilarious critiques of the
self-appointed language experts.

a[ Iam Writing This While NakedaThe Oh-So Steamy Predicate
Nominative

a[ Is That a Dangler in Your Memo or Are You Just Glad to See
Me?

anywhere else, demystifying the subject and taking it back from the
snobs. In short, itas a grammar book people will actually want to
readajust for the fun of it.
