Well I finished reading Grammar Snobs... I have to say that it was probably one of the first (if only) required reading in any of my English classes that I enjoyed. Overall I think it does a good job of really just boosting your own self confidence as a writer, using your own judgement. There were some good points in the reading about putting words together. I ALWAYS catch myself writing 'alot', yet because of spell check and automatic correction, I never notice it though, since it just fixes it for me. When I read that passage, it made me think back to all my typing. Yep, spell that wrong.
The Satan part had me cracking up. I didn't even realize how lengthy it was until after I went back and looked at it, I was so engrossed in the reading! I definatly had no idea "waked" was a word. Completely threw me off! There were some other words that I had never given much thought to that suprised me (inflammable?) so it was nice to have those pointed out.
Overall there is A LOT (2 words!) of information in the book, and its a pretty entertaining read. Its a good book to pick things up in the reading, and to be able to go back to look something up... if you know where to look!
