Grammar Snobs Ch. 8-15

     Before I discuss my chapter, Papa John's sign has a HUGE grammatical error.  It says "Tuscan Meats is back."  I could not believe they would put such blatant subject verb disagreement so high in the air for all to see!

     In these chapter selections, I found I either already knew the material, or it was something that no rule designates.  It seems like the chapters where no rule prevails over another are particularly boring.  I feel like I get the point the first time she quotes every source - they don't agree.  Also, the chapter on hyphens dragged on.  I felt like she wanted me to stop reading much earlier, since she seemed so surprised to still have a reader.  So I guess overall, I didn't learn as much in these chapters.  She still had her funny moments, although she went a bit overboard at times (enough to almost alienate the reader).
