I have a few grammar-type books ..which ostensibly help one distinguish between "affect" and "effect"....and similar difficult grammatical issues. But Mignon has a lovely way of putting things and comes up with sensible compromises to current grammar and tricky problems. I think it's a really useful reference. Happy to recommend it and happy to take her advice on a few things where the formal rules don't seem to work too well.
I learned several tips for improving my grammar. After being an author for three years, I'm still brushing up on all things grammatical. Sometimes it makes my head spin. Grammar Girl made refreshing my brain fun. The only drawback was that I wish there was less ad lib. But despite the ad lib, reading her how-to book like a novel allowed me to study her style and observe how she incorporates what she teaches.
Simple to use
Great punctuation guide for the novice. Clears up confusion in a fun format with pictures. Grammar Girl knows her stuff.

In this book, she has gathered together some of the more common problems writers seem to have about writing. She touched on many of my own problems I have with writing. This will definitely be one of my top go-to books. I now wish I had a hard copy.
One thing I have learned from this book is that the rules for writing are forever changing. What I may have learned in high school, back in in the 1980’s, may no longer apply today. I was surprised to find some rules of writing were more about style rather than being a hard and fast rule. It will depend on your editor, your teacher, your boss. This book was published in 2008 and I’m sure there have even been changes since then.
