May I Quote You on That?: A Guide to Grammar and Usage

Though there is no shortage of English grammar and usage guides, Stephen Spector here offers a new approach, pairing grammar rules with interesting and humorous quotations from American popular culture. The book, which Spector has used informally in his introductory-level History of English course for over forty years, focuses on words and usage rules commonly misused or misapplied by undergraduate students - such as discreet/discrete, double negatives, the singular and plural verbs for "everyone," and the distinction between "that" and "which."
