Sinopsis
It's been called “possibly the most popular book on grammar ever published.” Now the witty bestseller that took the nation by storm is back in a revised, expanded edition with new dos and don'ts from top to bottom.In this new Woe Is I, Patricia T. O'Conner displays the same fresh, irreverent humor that has charmed hundreds of thousands of readers. There are new chapters on spelling and pronunciation, and updates throughout. But you'll find the same down-to-earth explanations in clear, plain English-the same sensible solutions to the grammar mysteries that bug even the best of us. O'Conner manages to unscramble the most complicated problems in simple, easyto- swallow language. So you won't encounter the kind of intimidating terminology that made you want to skip your high school English class. This funny, wise, and indispensable guide shows readers how to:• avoid the persistent grammatical errors that tie everyone-even presidents!- in knots• watch their tongues and learn to pronounce commonly mangled words• correctly use dozens of much-abused words and phrases Whatever your problem-intimidated by possessives? puzzled over pronouns? clueless about how to say “banal”?-the updated Woe Is I provides witty, jargon-free answers to all your questions about the basics as well as the subtleties of grammar, style, and usage. No wonder The Atlanta Journal-Constitution called O'Conner's classic “the best primer on English usage to come along since Strunk and White's The Elements of Style.”

Sobre Betty's Books
My mother and my grandmother both loved books, so of course I do as well. Being the third generation of a book loving family, my inventory is larger than my home can handle. I have chosen some of the more special books to offer to you in the hope of finding new loving homes for them. Perhaps there is a treasure for which you've been looking, or maybe just an interesting book you would like to read. You may find our names inscribed in some of them. My grandmother's name was Lucy (1900-1987). My mother's name was Betty (1929-2014). And my name is Dinah. I prefer to know these books have been acquired by a fellow book lover, rather than to give them away where their value may not be recognized. For that reason, I intend the prices to be modest, and always negotiable. I'll pass a book along gladly to be cherished again.
