Driven to counter the slipping specifications of good writing in daily discourse, Mignon made a weekly podcast called Sentence structure Girl’s Quick and Dirty Techniques for Better Composing to reach all offenders-from the intimidated towards the apathetic. In less than a year, a lot more than five million Sentence structure Girl podcast shows have already been downloaded, and Mignon offers appeared in the web pages of THE BRAND NEW York Times and dispensed sentence structure tips on Oprah. In Sentence structure Girl’s Quick and Dirty Tips to TIDY UP Your Writing, Mignon tackles a few of the most common errors people make while communicating. From ‘place vs. lie’ and ‘have an effect on vs. effect’ to break up infinitives and run-on sentences, Grammar Girl offers apparent explanations and effective memory space tricks to greatly help listeners write (and say) it correct.
