With Really Amazing Examples from Donald
Trump
by Jane Hanser
Illustrated by J.C. Duffy
Midwest Book Review:
"Donald Trump is the
perfect and very public example of the kind of functional illiteracy
that emerges when someone who can read actually and chronically prefers
not to. This is reflected in a seemingly limited vocabulary with which
to describe things, people and events -- as well as the kinds of grammatical
errors that, if in school, would result in very low grades on English
exams.
"Especially recommended as a unique addition to personal and academic library Writing/Publishing collections, Nobody Knows How to Write a Grammar Book Better Than Me: With Amazing Examples from Donald Trump is both instructively educational and inherently entertaining. It is in fact and substance a thoroughly 'learner friendly' textbook with a wealth of humourous examples reflected in the actual statements, both spoken and written, by Donald Trump. While controversial with respect to the subject used for illustrative and educational purposes, the grammar lessons and exercises comprising Nobody Knows How to Write a Grammar Book Better Than Me are sound, germane, pertinent and relevant for anyone with an interest in learning about the use of proper English grammar for the purpose of enhancing and facilitating their spoken and written communications.
"Editorial Note: Jane Hanser's roots as a teacher of English and English as a Second Language, and the developer of the popular software application Easy Writer: Interactive Software for Learners of English, and as a story-teller in her award-winning book Dogs Don't Look Both Ways come together in this funny, helpful and relevant guide through English grammar.
"The renowned cartoonist, J.C. Duffy, whose
works can be regularly seen in The New Yorker and whose comic
strip The Fusco Brothers is nationally syndicated, contributes
additional rewards for the reader through his satirical illustrations
of Donald Trump quotes.
BLUE INK REVIEW:
"Grammar rules only make
sense in the context of real language. Grammarians either elect to use
famous quotes, or to construct their own pristine phrases for instruction.
Jane Hanser’s innovation is to present grammar through quotes from President
Donald Trump, delivering a well-sequenced grammar guide for the intermediate
writer/English language learner already aware of grammatical terms...
