Discussion Groups / English Usage / January 2007

Same thing happened to me. I posted the same message four or five times
the other day and it's not here, as far as I can see. But I haven't
been able to get anything at all on my ISP's news server for the past
week or so, and GG was a stale two days old. So I'll try again.

SUBJ: The New Grammar by L. Ron Hubbard

For anyone with a burning interest in Scientology English grammar and
what Tom Cruise means when he says things like "Clinical depression is
a myth" (or whatever it was that he said to Brooke Shields):

The New Grammar by L. Ron Hubbard

0884045617padList price: US$150.00padSale price: US$140.00pad

This book is a fabulous book for learning English grammar so you can
use it to communicate better. It is also invaluable when you need to
research a part of grammar and the dictionaries or your grammar book
are just not sufficient or too complex to explain it well.

This book is extremely large, well made, thorough, and has lots of
illustrations to get across the concepts it is teaching. An excellent
grammar reference for anyone.

This book was originally printed as part of a large course on English
basics. Because, it is an excellent reference book it was reprinted for
the general public with a different dust jacket by Effective Education
Publishing.

"Not only are we [USA Americans] convinced that economic liberalization
goes hand in hand with democratization, our engagement policy is
premised on the false notion that once nations get to know us, they
will happily choose to be like us."
