Grammar's Girl's 101 Troublesome Words You'll Master in No Time
By Mignon Fogarty

According to the Grammar Girl author, Mignon Fogarty, I can use the phrase:  "you have got to read this book." Being a word person myself, I appreciate the clever way each troublesome word or phrase's history is explained and advice given as to its usage (or non-usage). Most appealing are the quotes from popular TV shows or movies used to illustrate her points on correct grammar. Teens will be able to identify with modern English examples, making grammar fun - or I can even say grammar is the "funnest."  Recommended to middle and high school language arts teachers and curious teens alike.
