3.0

2020: This book was full of indulgent stories for someone like me, a reading & writing nerd and grammar geek, but I’m not entirely sure who the intended audience of this book was? It’s not very instructive; it veers more along the lines of “grammar is ever-evolving, you never know what you’re gonna get!” I was also frustrated with her mis-gendering her transgender sister for almost an entire chapter, just to prove the point that grammar isn’t permanent, and “how difficult” it was for her to swap pronouns she had used her whole life. Excuse me, but what was difficult about that situation was your sibling’s struggle to be who she is in a world that didn’t accept her, not your inability to change with the times. IMHO. Also not a huge fan of her claim that the Lord’s Prayer was “an example everyone knows”. So maybe she’s already outdated? Harsh to say for a book written in 2015.
