Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Mistakes Writing English and How to Avoid Them" is a text authored by Marshall T. Bigelow and is intended as an instructional guide to the improvement of one's English skills. "With the exception of Wordsworth, there is not one celebrated author of this day who has written two pages consecutively without some flagrant impropriety in the grammar." It is this quote that Bigelow chooses to open his work with, a quote that demonstrates the state of the English language, at least as interpreted by some authors. The purpose of "Mistakes Writing English and How to Avoid Them" is to offer teachers and scholars a guide to improving their English by demonstrating some of the most common grammatical errors. The book is divided into easily digestible sections, each of which handles a different grammatical concept. Topics covered include the proper use of the article, pronouns and antecedents, the infinitive mood, use of the participle, conjunctions, prepositions, and much more. A three-part appendix sees several additional topics discussed, and the book is concluded by an index. Marshall T. Bigelow has created a thorough and accessible guide to improving one's English. The book is not intended to be a completely exhaustive overview of grammar, but rather an examination of the most common errors of the language. Many of the examples provided were lifted directly from texts that Bigelow has been responsible for editing, and demonstrate that even professional writers are not immune from making grammatical errors. "Mistakes Writing English and How to Avoid Them" is the sort of book that can benefit everybody that endeavors to read it. For individuals interested in learning how to avoid common errors and become a better writer, Marshall T. Bigelow's guide is essential. Clearly written and well presented, this work is highly recommended. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt: ...only only on one point of resemblance." " Having had once once had some prominent object set before us." "The positive seems improperly to be to be improperly called a degree." "In somejihrases the genitive is only only the genitive is used." 1 See ante, 40. 2 Murray corrects "look up thankfully" to "thankfully look np "; but I think the order of the first clause as corrected, " looking down contemptuously," should be followed in the second one. "This blunder is said actually to have to have actually occurred." "But every man is not called James, nor every woman Mary." (Place not after "But.") "Most men dream, but all do not not all." " We have often often have occasion to speak of time." "The words must be generally generally be separated from the context." "But it is only so so only when the expression can be converted into the regular form." " For sinners also lend to sinners to receive as much again again as much." " He was about to go on, when he perceived from her quivering eye and pallid cheek that nothing less than imposture was intended."--Scott, Old Mortality. (Say, " nothing was less intended than imposture.") "Meister is brought to realize that he is not only not only that he is a social and moral being, and capable of development as such, but that he is also a religious being." 72. The adverb should not be unnecessarily introduced in the middle of a clause at the beginning of a sentence, thus multiplying pauses, but should be placed at the end of the clause; as, "It remains, then, undecided, undecided, then, whether the effect of heredity is to transmit these characteristics." "We may define, therefore, the cause of a phenomenon to be the antecedent, on which it is invariably consequent." (Put "therefore" after...

Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1886 edition. Excerpt: ... chapter xvii. conjunctions. 83. Beginning paragraphs or sentences with conjunctions should be avoided. The conjunctions and, nor, or, and others strictly connective, are often needlessly thus made to begin a sentence, more especially and. In many cases, the and is useless and may be omitted, and where it is necessary the sentence can often be joined with the preceding one. A disjunctive, like but, may sometimes be necessary at the beginning of the sentence, and in an animated or easy style it is perhaps unobjectionable to begin one with and. It is not easy to give examples, without taking up too much space, as whole sentences would be required to show the connection. Any one can find plenty of examples in his every-day reading, and can judge for himself as to their propriety or impropriety. 84. The words reason and because should not be used together, the word because meaning "for that reason," and thus being redundant; as, "Because That Rousseau had given an equally beautiful picture was no reason why Goethe should not repeat it." "The other will fail, not for any apparent reason but because except that the one loves the child from the beginning." "The reasons of appeal were because that the consent of the parents had not been obtained." "The renson I ask you to do this is because that you can do it so much better than I." 85. Other common errors in the use of conjunctions are the following. Without for unless, but for; as, "Without Unless the grammatical form of.a word can be recognized at a glance, little progress can be made in reading the language." "You will never live to my age without you keep yourself in breath with exercise." "This veteran of forty campaigns would have fallen into the enemy's hands without...

This book was released on 2015-06-28 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Desk-Book of Errors in English, Including Notes on Colloquialisms and Slang to Be Avoided in Conversation In these days when the vernacular of the street invades the home; when illiterate communications corrupt good grammar; and when the efforts of the teachers in the public schools are rendered ineffective by parents careless of their diction, constant attempts are being made to point out the way to that "Well of English undefiled" so dear to the heart of the purist. But, notwithstanding these efforts to correct careless diction, the abuse and misuse of words continue. The one besetting sin of the English-speaking people is a tendency to use colloquial inelegancies, slang, and vulgarisms, and against these, as against the illiteracies of the street, it is our duty to guard, nowadays more so than at any other time, since what is learnt in the schoolroom is soon forgotten or displaced by association with illiterate playfellows, or by occasionally hearing words misused at home.
