Testimonials

"I have been impressed with GrammaRight. The Grammar & Writing Guide provides several valuable tools for all writers. First, those who need instruction in the English language can use the Guide as a training program. Second, those who have questions about grammar and writing style can use the Guide as a look-up system--the Index and Search features are quite powerful. And third, the sections on writing style teach the key tricks used by all great writers."

"English is my second language. For years, I struggled to find a systematic way to write with clarity. I attended a writing course Ed Good presented at Philips Electronics in Shanghai. In less than a week, he taught us an easy-to-follow system to spot and cure weaknesses in our writing style. Now this invaluable system is available in digital format. Anyone who writes will find GrammarRight enjoyable and useful."

What's in GrammaRight?

Six major Sections, each a separate Windows® help file, each with Index and Search features. It's like having your own grammar website right on your computer. If you can navigate the Internet, you can use GrammaRight. Works on Vista®, too.

But it's not on the Internet. It's on your computer. It goes where you go.

If printed out, GrammaRight would consume more than 1,000 pages. It provides a wealth of information.

When you download GrammaRight to your computer, the following are only a click away:

What are those sections?

1. Grammar & Writing Guide. GrammaRight is derived from the book, A Grammar Book for You and I ... Oops, Me! The Grammar & Writing Guide contains the full and quickly searchable text of the Oops Me book, with Pop-Up Definitions of grammatical terms. The Grammar & Writing Guide is an e-book. Right on your computer wherever you go.

   Example. You think you've made a mistake with the use of "myself." In the Grammar & Writing Guide, use the Index to find a discussion of reflexive pronouns, i.e., the "-self" words. And to find your answer, you only have to type "self" or "myself" or "herself," etc. in the Index. You don't even need to know that the problem involves reflexive pronouns. Click for a sample screen.

2. Punctuation contains rules and examples for all punctuation marks.

   Example. You're not sure whether a semicolon goes inside or outside closing quotation marks. Click the link to Punctuation and look up the rules on the semicolon.
   Click for a sample screen.

3. Grammatical Mistakes contains discussions on 13 common blunders.

   Example. Everyone around you uses the "like" word. Incessantly. The Section on Grammatical Mistakes has an entire chapter on the problem. Make sure you read Chapter 13. It's entitled: "Like, I'mlike gonna learn how to like talk."
   Click for a sample screen.

4. Problem Words discusses 482 words causing trouble when you write.

   Example. You have trouble with "affect" and "effect." In this Section, you simply type "affect" in the Index and hit Enter. Bingo. A succinct discussion straightens out the problems. Click for a sample screen.

5. Frequently Misspelled Words covers 1,175 words that often escape the scrutiny of your spell-checker.

   Example. Which is it, "idiosyncracy" or "idiosyncrasy"? Just type "idio" in the Index, hit Enter, and there's your answer, along with a sample sentence using the word.
   Click for a sample screen.

6. Glossary of Grammatical Terms includes definitions of 165 grammatical terms. You can consult this Section separately if you're unsure, for example, about the "subjunctive mood."

   But throughout GrammaRight, whenever you encounter a grammatical term, you can click it and get a Pop-Up Definition from the glossary.

   Example. While reading in the Grammar & Writing Guide, you come across the term "truncated clause." You click it and get an instant Pop-Up Definition, along with examples. Then you find out that "while reading" is a truncated or elliptical clause.
