Nobody Knows How to Write a Grammar Book Better Than Me - Hardcover

Críticas

Donald Trump is the perfect and very public example of the kind of functional illiteracy that emerges when someone who can read actually and chronically prefers not to. This is reflected in a seemingly limited vocabulary with which to describe things, people and events -- as well as the kinds of grammatical errors that, if in school, would result in very low grades on English exams.

Especially recommended as a unique addition to personal and academic library Writing/Publishing collections, "Nobody Knows How to Write a Grammar Book Better Than Me: With Amazing Examples from Donald Trump" is both instructively educational and inherently entertaining. It is in fact and substance a thoroughly 'learner-friendly' textbook with a wealth of humourous examples reflected in the actual statements, both spoken and written, by Donald Trump. While controversial with respect to the subject used for illustrative and educational purposes, the grammar lessons and exercises comprising "Nobody Knows How to Write a Grammar Book Better Than Me" are sound, germane, pertinent and relevant for anyone with an interest in learning about the use of proper English grammar for the purpose of enhancing and facilitating their spoken and written communications.

Editorial Note: Jane Hanser's roots as a teacher of English and English as a Second Language, and the developer of the popular software application "Easy Writer: Interactive Software for Learners of English," and as a story-teller in her award-winning book "Dogs Don't Look Both Ways" come together in this funny, helpful and relevant guide through English grammar.

Reseña del editor

Nobody Knows How to Write a Grammar Book Better Than Me raises the bar for an English grammar book as it transports us through the great English language and the topsy-turvy world of Donald Trump's policies and predilections. With memorable -- and not so memorable -- examples of Donald Trump's use of English, Nobody Knows How to Write a Grammar Book Better Than Me hilariously guides the reader through grammar's complexities and makes them relevant and easy to understand.

This book provides accessible introduction to American English grammar for English users regardless of their skill levels: both native and ESL speakers. Every grammar principle is accompanied by several examples of Donald Trump - how to do it - and how not to do it. In addition, exercises allow the reader to try the grammar principals themselves, which often means correcting Donald Trump's grammar, sentence structure and punctuation.

The renowned cartoonist, J.C. Duffy, whose works can be regularly seen in The New Yorker and whose comic strip The Fusco Brothers is nationally syndicated, contributes additional rewards for the reader through his satirical illustrations of Donald Trump quotes.
