The revised and expanded third edition of Common Errors in English Usage remains a useful and fun guide to mixed-up, mangled expressions, foreign language faux pas, confusing terms, and commonly mispronounced words. Reviews: "I rarely take a Grammar Girl podcast live without at least quadruple-checking my main thesis, and Common Errors in English Usage has quickly become one of my most valued fact-checking resources." -from the Foreword by "Grammar Girl" Mignon Fogarty, podcaster, author of Grammar Girl's Quick and Dirty Tips for Better Writing
Reviews
"Paul Brians has written a handy and likable reference tool. When he gives you the right answer, he sends you off chuckling-a winning combination." -Jack Miles, Pulitzer Prize-winning biographer and former literary editor, Los Angeles Times

"I'd call Paul Brians' book incredible, fabulous, or fantastic, except thanks to him, I know now that none of those words are what I really mean. Let's just say that Common Errors in English Usage is the most cheerfully useful book I've read since the Kama Sutra." -Scott Simon, host of NPR's Weekend Edition
