Queen of business communication Dianna Booher has written a new book, Booher's Rules of Business Grammar: 101 Fast and Easy Ways to Correct the Most Common Errors (McGraw-Hill), which is precisely what the title promises. It also comes with an invitation to test your "grammar IQ" online at Booher'sRules.com. Of course, I couldn't resist that. I answered the 25 multiple-choice questions and some of them were tough. I figured I probably missed one or two, but what the hell, copy editors and proofreaders need to earn a living, too. Then, I got my score...76 percent! Now, I'm reading the book.
Occasional posts on business books, their authors and publishers, tidbits from my book and article research, quotes from interviews with experts and executives, and hopefully, not too much self-promotional bushwa.
