Generations of student writers have been subjected to usage handbooks that proclaim, This is the correct form. Learn it - books that lay out a grammar, but don't inspire students to use it. By contrast, this antihandbook handbook, presenting some three hundred sentences drawn from the printed works of a single, typical day in the life of the language - December 29, 2008 - tries to persuade readers that good grammar and usage matter.

Rezensionen
"One Day in the Life of the English Language is a welcome departure from the vast majority of grammar handbooks. Cioffi suggests that instead of memorizing tons of rules about sentence structure, students should internalize how sentences work- and with the motivation he gives, students have the incentive to want to write well. I truly love this book." - Elizabethada A. Wright, University of Minnesota
