The Grammar Troubleshooter:
A no-frills guidebook to FIND and to FIX errors.

Do you irritate your readers with just one crucial grammatical error or with many? Do you have problems seeing the errors before your boss or teacher does?

Learn new ways to FIND them with The Grammar Troubleshooter, which has six fresh, clever, straight-forward ways. Here's one: "Use punctuation marks -- or where punctuation marks should be -- to find common errors." Some errors are waiting for you!

See many more newly-established editing tricks, including "the base-noun before the that/which choice clue" and "the with clue" for abbreviating months, streets, and states.

Learn to FIX them mostly as crisp two-way choices: it's or its. Each selection depends on its own prevailing situation. One choice may confirm that you were right all along.
