I bought this for some one who hates poor grammar. She thought it was great. This isn't a book you sit and read but it is entertaining.
Great gift for the "nerd" in the group!

My sister-in-law is constantly correcting grammar. It's like she lives for it! I purchased this book for her as a Christmas gift. I'm sure she will love it. I've already flipped through the entire book and laughed at almost every single photo. Very funny!
Laugh-out-loud funny

Sharon Eliza Nichols created a Facebook group dedicated to showing off signs demonstrating poor grammar, punctuation and spelling. So many hilarious examples were discovered that she decided to share them with the rest of the world. This book is chockfull of pictures of pictures of these signs, many of them laugh-out-loud funny. My favorite being the one that reads, "English is our language/no excetions/learn it". I really enjoyed this book, as did my teenage children. If you want a good laugh, then pick up this book! You won't be disappointed.

"I judge you when you use poor grammar", by Sharon Eliza Nichols is a cute and clever picture book of embarrassing grammar errors. Bloopers, spelling errors, and apostrophe misuse are shown along with a comment highlighting the errors. It is divided into ten chapters; each groups the errors by usage categories, like Chap. 1, Food and Drink, which show signs, posters, messages, and menus from eating establishments. Chapter 6, Edumacation, has pictures of school marquees and a priceless one of the Village of Crestwood. If English is your second language, then some of these mistakes can be explained. However, newspapers, city traffic signs, professional educators and the Department of Homeland Security? One of my favorites is the last one. It is a picture of a man in a protest demonstration. He holds two hand-printed signs. One says "GO USA", the other says "Get A BRAIN! MORANS". Enough said.
She speaks good english

When I first heard that Ms. Nichols was publishing a volume of grammatical errors and bloopers I thought to myself, "leave it to Sharon Nichols to take time out of her rockstar-meets-lawyer lifestyle to give something back to the community." Sharon speaks with the voice of a thousand tongues, tongues long kept silent by a society wrought with poor grammatical habits and ignorant of its (not it's) own intellectual frailty. Ms Nichols' work is nothing short of groundbreaking and is sure to set the standard for works of this kind well into the next decade. The world looks on with bated breath to see what Ms Nichols will do next.
