“Hating on her why? I loved this book although I am not having nearly as much fun with the follow-up, "Talk To The Hand."”
“still here and still hating on this woman! ”
“I would say this is more of a must-read for anyone who claims NOT to know English, as well as the beleaguered who already know what an apostrophe is for and feels its death agonies. This is a great, hilarious, curmudgeonly read.”
“I loved this from A to Z. As a writer from the age of 4 and an English teacher for 6 years, I am amazed how hard some people find basic English. In my last job, we were constantly looking at sale signs and catching misplaced apostrophes, missing apostrophes, and comma splices. A must read for anyone who claims to know English.”
“I happen to enjoy the new feature and gladly respond to any request for info. In addition, I find it helpful to get some differing views on a book that I'm considering reading.FYI...as far as I can tell there is no connection to the requests and having reviewed/commented on a book. All it takes is to have the book on your shelf.”
“Have you been bombarded by complete strangers who wanted to know, after you have written a review, and/or made comments expressing your opinion of a book, whether they should read this book? And it isn't that they took the time to see who you are, then ask in a note, no, they just spammed you and everyone else on Shelfari who has said book on shelf. Does this irriate you? If so, you can do something about it: you can contact either of the two Shelfari reps below, or better yet, you can contact both of them and ask them to please remove the new and annoying feature that allows this spamming!http://www.shelfari.com/amandahttp://www.shelfari.com/timothygray”
“After reading this book, I went to my local QFC store and looked at the sign above the express line. Sure enough the sign says; 15 items or less. I smiled thinking about Ms. Truss and her book. The sign should be 15 items or fewer. She'd be happy to know, though that the sign was changed to fewer. Someone must have told the manager about it.”
“I also enjoyed reading this book and I agree with the author's points. It is helpful as well in my job as I do a lot of writing and editing. ”
“This writer has a great sense of humor. I am trying to concentrate on what she is saying and then realize I am trying too hard and should just relax and enjoy her style. I seem to be forgetting all the old punctuation rules and so this is a good way to see how off I am... or as she would say *off*, I am.”
“funny little book :)”
