| Program name |
"What you have in your hand is not a style manual nor a grammar book, both of which deal comprehensively with the mechanics of language and writing. Instead, it is a collection of common errors made by students, along with explanations in most cases of why they ARE errors, and examples of ways to correct them. [...] |
| 526 ## - STUDY PROGRAM INFORMATION NOTE |
|---|
| Program name |
So, this book is both a reference (for you to use when you have a question about some particular problem) and a guide (for you to use to correct errors that your instructor has noted in your writing), and it is very easy to use. It is divided into five main parts: Grammar, Punctuation, Spelling, Usage, and A Final Word. Within those parts, we have divided the contents further into other easily identified parts. Under the main heading Grammar, for instance, we have included significant sub-headings, such as Agreement, Pronouns, Verbs, et. And finally, we have arranged all the errors by name alphabetically and have assigned them numbers, so that under the sub-heading Agreement, the question of using fewer vs. less is labeled as G1, etc." (Preface, pp. ix-xi) |
