WRITERS’S BEST FRIEND

Dear Friends,















Lately, I came across an interesting and my long sought after book, titled "100 Writing Mistakes to Avoid" by Maeve Maddox. After reading through it, I find it so useful and am also very excited to share it with you so that you too can benefit from it. 

I must say that this book can serve as the writers's best friend despite the online help you may have obtained from the internet such as online dictionary and so on. However, you may not be so lucky to zero in a very quick and detail manner like this book does. It still serves some of your purpose. This book is so handy that you can place one near your desktop, for your quick access.

Basically this book is categorised into 5 sections: Introduction, Spelling Mistakes, Usage Mistakes, Grammar Mistakes and Punctuation Mistakes. Very comprehensive yet 5 clear divisions for users' easy reference. Thanks so much to this Author who has such brilliant thoughts, from the user's perspective.

Another great point to note is that this book highlights the differences of certain words usage in term of spelling and usage in both the British and US contexts. Its' clear and precise explanation well deserve the praise. We are certain that some of you may agree that it is a good practice to review these words constantly until they really sink into our minds and souls. I find it very valuable despite the fact that both spellings and usage are well accepted by my country and the distinction becomes blur in our society. As such, this book is highly recommended for school teachers and students so that they have a clear understanding of the differences of these words in both countries mentioned above.

No doubt some of you may argue that the list does not include every possible mistake, be it spelling, usage, grammar and punctuation. However, it has covered a great extent that makes it useful to lots of potential customers, so to speak. So, you are advised to go the nearest bookstore and take a quick look at the book and make your own assessment. If you have a chance to flick through the pages, you will realise that these words are commonly and frequently used in any society. As such, you will tend to agree that its benefits are far more greater than its cost.

If you find this book is really good like what we have described above, please pass this good news to your circle of contacts so that they also can benefit like you do.
