Fumble-Rules (PocketBook)

DON'T USE NO DOUBLE NEGATIVES

When William Safire makes a mistake, it's a whopper. When he sets out ta make fifty mistakes. it's a wickedly witty hook about

grammar, usage, and style. This opinionated Vew York Times curmudgeon, whose crotchety

correctness makes for irresistible reading in his column "On Language." brings us his entire

collection of world-class fumblerules (a mistake that calls attention to the rule). He follows each fumblerule with a provocative

essay about language, grammar, and life...so even if you don't know your i before your e you'll have great fun discovering what is ever so-correet in this wonderfully wacky language of ours.
