review 1: My Mini Review: I'm glad I picked up Fogarty's 101 Misused Words. Although I already knew a good chunk of the words in this book, there were still some that surprised me. When I didn't realize I was using a word wrong I felt pretty dumb, until I realized that I'm obviously not the only one misusing the word if it is in this book. Grammar Girl's 101 Misused Words would be a great easy-to-read reference book for any type of writer, and it would definitely be a great book to give as a gift to those word nerds out there. I also want to give Fogarty praise for the fun examples she uses when explaining the real meaning of a word. She uses a variety of examples from famous old quotes, quotes from Harry Potter, and even from television shows like Modern Family. Overall, this book... more was informational and fun to read. I will be reading more of Fogarty's books.
review 2: This is a really good book on grammar. It's full of information and is easy to understand. Therefore, everyone should read this. It even taught me a few things, and I'd considered myself to be well-versed in regards to grammar. Grammar snobs will occasionally be shocked as they thumb through this book. I didn't know that people had such a hard time with such no-brainers as "guerrilla" vs "gorilla" and *gasp* "peak" vs "peek" vs "pique"! I'm embarrassed for anyone who learned something new whilst reading those chapters. less
