Excerpt: Grammar Snobs are Great Big Meanies

grammarsnobs.jpgJune Casagrande, author of Grammar Snobs are Great Big Meanies, writes the humorous A Word, Please language column and has worked as a reporter, editor, copy editor and proofreader. On Thursday, May 4, she’ll be teaching our course, “Practical Grammar and Style Tips,” at our home offices in New York. All this, despite her dearth of education.
Here‘s an excerpt from her book:

How to drop out of high school in the ninth grade and still make big bucks telling others how to use good grammar:
Step 1: Drop out of high school.
Step 2: Party for four or five years.
Step 3: Enroll in college. (Note: This only works at Florida public universities and possibly Yale if your dad went there.)
