Official synopsis Publisher
From Simon & Schuster, The Goof Proofer is Stephen Manhard’s guide on how to avoid the 41 most embarrassing errors in your speaking and writing.
From the Introduction: “Because, I am a retired advertising executive and copywriter, I have written The Goof Proofer from the viewpoint of a communicator, not a teacher. It’s not intended to be exhaustive; rather, it simply lists the most common errors, shows you what is wrong and what is right, and explains how to remember to avoid such goofs.”
