The desire for knowledge, like the thirst for riches,
​increases ever with the acquisition of it.

The Grammarian

10/11/2016

 
Get OUT! Not only do we have The Writer and The Punctuator, we also have The Grammarian? I had no idea! This one is the same size with a copyright date of 1980. It's in good enough shape -- a few smudges and wrinkles (like me).

This one doesn't have nutty sentences like The Punctuator does. "The strangest animal is the baboon." "The manager is more efficient." The sample sentences given under Linking Verbs/Adjectives are a bit strange, though:

He smells terrible. (He has an odor; nothing is wrong with his sense of smell.)
He feels bad. (He is troubled; only a Braille student could feel badly.)

Odd.
