| 05.09.05 | Yep, a grammar book. In addition to going over all the basics in the first part, there's a quick-reference-esque topical guide in the back for all those nasty questions like whether to use "may" or "might" or the difference between "it's" and "its." All in all it was good to brush up on the stuff again, but the specific questions I had about grammar and punctuation stuff weren't really answered and the fancy English terms and definitions that i didn't firmly grasp in 10th grade don't have enough time to spend on them here to make me firmly grasp them now. There are exercises on the web and a separately available workbook that i suppose would hammer all this stuff home for me, but i think i need a somewhat more advanced or in-depth or whatever you want to call it style guide to be a better reference for me. |
