Communications Expert Dianna Booher Brings Grammar Back With Her 44th Book
Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas (PRWEB) December 4, 2008
Let’s say someone’s walking around the office with bad breath. Or they’re interviewing for a job with a piece of spinach stuck in their teeth? People would wonder why they don’t tend to the problem. Bad grammar is just as noticeable and offensive. It represents the user unfavorably to the world.
Worse, it can kill their career. A poorly written cover letter, website, or presentation can blow someone’s chances at creating a great first impression, getting a job offer, sealing the deal, retaining a client, or nabbing that promotion. Bad grammar can not only limit someone’s job trajectory but also their social standing.
The good news? Business communications expert Dianna Booher , author of “Booher’s Rules of Business Grammar: 101 Fast and Easy Ways to Correct the Most Common Errors” (McGraw-Hill, November 2008), assures readers they can correct deficiencies in a matter of a few hours.
“Our technology is also contributing to the demise of good grammar,” says Booher. “We get sloppy in text messages and tweets, and it becomes harder and harder to remember the rules when we need them.”
However, there’s still hope for all the victims of pesky pronouns, verb-related blunders, and punctuation perils. In “Booher’s Rules of Business Grammar” the author identifies the top 101 mistakes made in emails, presentations, and conversations every day. With funny examples and to-the-point memory tips at the end of each brief chapter, Booher picks apart common mistakes and gives readers the ammo to put them back together.
Readers will learn to cut the fat from their copy, dump their doublespeak, get rid of the grammar gremlins, and write and speak like the professionals they are.
Whether they decide to skim it for a minute or study the whole book in a few hours, readers will use “Booher’s Rules of Business Grammar” to set themselves apart as expert communicators.
