These are interesting times for word nerds. We ate, shot and left, bonding over a joke about a panda and some rants about greengrocers who abuse apostrophes. We can go on Facebook and vow to judge people when they use poor grammar. The fiftieth anniversary of the publication of The Elements of Style inspired sentimental reveries. Grammar Girl's tally of Twitter followers is well into six digits. We can't get enough of a parody of the Associated Press Stylebook, of all things, or a collection of "unnecessary" quotation marks. Could you care less? Does bad grammar or usage "literally" make your head explode? Test your need for this new book with these sentences: "Katrina misplaced many residents of New Orleans from their homes." "Sherry finally graduated college this year." "An armed gunman held up a convenience store on Broadway yesterday afternoon." Pat yourself on the back if you found issues in every one of these sentences, but remember: There is a world out there beyond the stylebooks, beyond Strunk and White, beyond Lynne Truss and Failblogs. In his long-awaited follow-up to Lapsing Into a Comma and The Elephants of Style, while steering readers and writers on the proper road to correct usage, Walsh cautions against slavish adherence to rules, emphasizing that the correct choice often depends on the situation. He might disagree with the AP Stylebook or Merriam-Webster, but he always backs up his preferences with logic and humor. Walsh argues with both sides in the language wars, the sticklers and the apologists, and even with himself, over the disputed territory and ultimately over whether all this is warfare or just a big misunderstanding. Part usage manual, part confessional, and part manifesto, Yes, I Could Care Less bounces from sadomasochism to weather geekery, from "Top Chef" to Monty Python, from the chile of New Mexico to the daiquiris of Las Vegas, with Walsh's distinctive take on the way we write and talk. Yes, I Could Care Less is a lively and often personal look at one man's continuing journey through the obstacle course that some refer to, far too simply, as "grammar."
A lighthearted usage guide shares a latest treasury of language pet peeves and common grammatical mistakes.
Communicating the importance of proper diction for Christians, in English First, author Pan Troglodytes provides a guide for learning to talk and write like a humble Christian, in American English. Using both the Bible and the dictionary as resources, Troglodytes shows how to avoid using vogue words, jargon, redundancies, and other overly contrived, complicated, or awkward words that make people look pretentious, conceited, ignorant, and foolish. English First provides a host of examples to help speakers and writers keep their speech and writing plain and simple. It discusses misuses and mispronunciations of words and explains their true meaning and use in American English. For example, the word heinous is pronounced haynus, not heenus. Th e word comprise means includes, consists of, or contains; it does not mean makes up. The whole comprises its partsthe parts make up or compose the whole. In addition to coaching Christians to speak correctly and simply, English First provides an interpretation of words, phrases, and passages in the Bible that speak to todays issues of abortion, homosexuality, and corporal punishment in child rearing.
Spencer Graham had been trying to get a hold of Jason Crosby for weeks, but he didn’t seem to answer emails, mail or the telephone. She had an idea that would make them a great deal of money, but she needed him to invest in her project before it was too late.

Former Reagan White House attorney, David B. Nolan Sr., is a "dangerous truther" who was granted a Q2 nuclear safety clearance. LBJ's and Nixon's Patsy compiles information now in the public domain that was covered up for over 50 years. Oswald was deliberately denied a trial to prove his innocence and to show that Lyndon Baines Johnson and Richard Nixon masterminded the JFK murder. Nolan is the 2014 co-author of Quest for Freedom published on Amazon Books. He is the author of the Ethics Section of the District of Columbia Practice Manual. Who's Who in American Law recognized Nolan in 1980 and Who's Who in America in 2002. Nolan's amicus briefs in DHS v. MacLean helped the first federal employee respondent ever to defeat the U.S. Justice Department at the U.S. Supreme Court in DHS v. MacLean, case 13-843. Whistleblower MacLean was fired when he disclosed to Senator Hillary Clinton the reduction of air marshal deployments immediately after 9-11. In January 2015, Nolan helped give president Obama one of his worst legal defeats in the support of the rule of law for MacLean by a 7 to 2 U.S. Supreme Court vote.
