Publisher Description:

Who cares about commas, semicolons, dashes, and hyphens?...Well, you should. A misplaced punctuation mark can confuse physicians and surgeons, cause thousands of dollars in legal fees, misinform judges, puzzle bankers, misguide stockbrokers...and create lumps in your pudding.

You don't need a teacher with a mouthful of jargon to help you understand how to make yourself clearly understood. Better Punctuation in 30 Minutes a Day will help you teach yourself. This small, step-by-step handbook is an indispensable guide if you need to:

  • Compose high school or college papers.
  • Apply to college or for a job.
  • Write a resume or fill out an application.
  • Communicate your thoughts to anyone, from your landlord to your loved one.

You can work on your own, at your own speed, and within your own time frame. The rules of punctuation, often confusing and hazy, will finally become clear.
