Overview

Nobody Knows How to Write a Grammar Book Better Than Me raises the bar for an English grammar book as it transports us through the great English language and the topsy-turvy world of Donald Trump's policies and predilections. With memorable -- and not so memorable -- examples of Donald Trump's use of English, Nobody Knows How to Write a Grammar Book Better Than Me hilariously guides the reader through grammar's complexities and makes them relevant and easy to understand. This book provides accessible introduction to American English grammar for English users regardless of their skill levels: both native and ESL speakers. Every grammar principle is accompanied by several examples of Donald Trump - how to do it - and how not to do it. In addition, exercises allow the reader to try the grammar principals themselves, which often means correcting Donald Trump's grammar, sentence structure and punctuation. The renowned cartoonist, J.C. Duffy, whose works can be regularly seen in The New Yorker and whose comic strip The Fusco Brothers is nationally syndicated, contributes additional rewards for the reader through his satirical illustrations of Donald Trump quotes. Jane Hanser's roots as a teacher of English and English as a Second Language, and the developer of the popular software application Easy Writer: Interactive Software for Learners of English, and as a story-teller in her award-winning book Dogs Don't Look Both Ways come together in this funny, helpful and relevant guide through English grammar. Nobody Knows How to Write a Grammar Book Better Than Me is as educational as it is entertaining.
