For the record, we gladly break grammar rules for effect (not to be confused with “affect.”) What can we say? Sometimes a properly placed “ain’t” sounds much better than a grammatically proper “isn’t.” But we’re downright grammar curmudgeons when it comes to the erroneous use of words like “irregardless,” “expresso” and “disorientated.” In Things That Make Us (Sic), author Martha Brockenbrough gives us a snarky, irreverent guide packed with common grammar gaffes and tips for avoiding them. This helpful and hilarious book also contains letters to some infamous language offenders, including George W. Bush, David Hasselhoff and the Queen of England.
