RE: Wanted: Opinions on a grammar book

["Susan W. Gallagher" <sgallagher5 -at- cox -dot- net>]

Depends on whether you also noticed and laughed (as I did) when half-way thru the book, the authors announced that, because the primary influence on English changed from England to US, they'd change to American English for the rest of the book -- and then they changed spelling but still used British-style quote punctuation.

Taken to that level, yeah - weird and frightening!   ;-)
