{"product_id":"grammar-geek","title":"Grammar Geek","description":"English is full of beauty and surprises, yet despite being the lingua franca of the globalization world, it has a reputation for being difficult to learn because its grammar has also so many quirks and contradictions.  \n\nDid you know:\n- \"Terry loves yogurt\" is an example of illeism\n- preposition stranding is a bogus rule\n- sometimes it's acceptable to begin a sentence with \"but\" or \"and\"\n- \"Could you pass the salt?\" is \"whimperative\"\n- it's OK to boldly split infinitives \n\nMany of us don't even know the basics, so not only does Grammar Geek reveal obscure grammar rules and bogus ones you can safely ignore, it's also a handy primer, so in the future you'll have no excuse for dangling a modifier or misplacing a semicolon.","brand":"Octopus Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"New - Hardback","offer_id":32949108047957,"sku":"9781788402002N","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2481\/5790\/products\/9781788402002.jpg?v=1609888586","url":"https:\/\/smeikalbooks.co.uk\/en-us\/products\/grammar-geek","provider":"smeikalbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
