Více o knize

Challenging conventional grammar rules, Val Dumond advocates for a more flexible approach to language in the U.S., emphasizing its evolving nature shaped by diverse immigrant influences. She critiques the notion of "Proper English" and the rigid "rules" imposed by traditional authorities, encouraging writers to embrace their linguistic heritage. Dumond provides practical guidelines that focus on functionality over memorization, empowering readers to create their own style manuals. By discarding outdated assumptions, she inspires confidence in personal expression through language.
