Have You Eaten Grandma? by Gyles Brandreth

A hilarious lament on the misuse of English grammar from the self-proclaimed punctuation perfectionist Gyles Brandreth

Don’t know if it’s, like, okay to say ‘like’?
Are your apostrophe’s in the wrong place?
Should it be ‘past’ or ‘passed’?
Want to make fewer not less grammatical mistakes?

Then do not despair, Gyles Brandreth’s Have You Eaten Grandma? is the definitive (and hilarious) guide to punctuation, spelling, and good English for the twenty-first century.

Sunday Times best-selling author and grammar guru, Gyles pokes fun at the linguistic foibles of our time, tells us where we’ve been going wrong (and how to put it right), and reveals his tips and tricks to make every one of us better, more confident users (not abusers) of the English language.
