Here is the long-awaited antidote to those pedants out there whonbsp;insist on pointing outnbsp;every singlenbsp;misuse of both written and spoken English.nbsp;The English language is an ever-changing and complex thing, and for every English language "stickler" who nevernbsp;misspeaks there is somebody who is bamboozled and befuddled by grammatical trapdoors, puzzled bynbsp;punctuation, and who spells words with diabolical inaccuracy.nbsp;Featuring highlights such asnbsp;ambiguous ads (Why not have the kids shot for Easter, or have a family portrait taken?),dangling modifiers(She slipped on the ice and apparently her legs went in separate directions in early December.),and senseless statements(With half the race gone, there is half the race still to go.),this humorous guidenbsp;brings to lightnbsp;the prevalence of absent apostrophes, ghastly grammar, suspect sentences, rambling repetitiveness, insane instructions, and quirky quotations in society today.
