If you think grammar is ¿old school¿ and doesn¿t matter, consider all the writing people do these days with blogs, email, Facebook and Twitter ¿ not to mention college papers, professional writing, office memos and those endless online job applications. Everyone is writing more and more, and the writing that grabs our attention is not awkward and embarrassing but clear and solid ¿ written by people who understand grammar. Whether grammar is your delight or your dilemmäor your nightmare, this book is your guide to safe harbor. The Professional Clamdigging approach makes the solemn and practical pledge that you¿ll never learn a single snippet of grammar without seeing how it solves a writing issue. Choosing between I feel ¿bad¿ and I feel ¿badly¿ is impossible if you don¿t know how action verbs and linking verbs operate. Don¿t know an adverb move from a bluegrass groove? Don¿t know if you should say ¿me¿ or ¿I¿? You¿ve come to the right place. Steven Lund has been teaching grammar and writing skills for 40 years ¿ the past 29 at Dallas Lutheran School.
