Smarten the F*ck Up!

Smarten the F*ck Up! is the result of 4 years of chronicling the most common mistakes people make when speaking and writing... and it goes well beyond grammar! 

Got a sense of humor? Great! In this book you'll find lots of humor, a bit of sarcasm, a touch of crudeness, a dose of politics, a little cursing here and there, an occasional expression of humanity, as well as a tongue-in-cheek irreverence toward grammar nerds. You'll also see an occasional rant... just for the sake of entertainment, of course. But what's most important is that you'll learn how to fix many of the common mistakes you've been (unknowingly) making your entire life! 

It's definitely not your typical grammar book. It's actually more of a self-help book, although much of what it conveys is grammar-related... just without the grammar-nerd language! And there's lots more - all explained in plain English. 

Many of the smartest and most educated people I know make these common mistakes. You probably do too. Most are just things we've said our entire lives without realizing they were wrong. This book helps you identify yours! 

Consider this: People appreciate when a friend tells them they have toilet paper stuck to their shoe. They also appreciate being told when they have food stuck in their teeth. Friends usually welcome being saved from embarrassment, but unfortunately, most of us don't have a friend who points out the embarrassing things we say. This book is that friend! 

It's truly a book the average person can relate to and learn from. It's also a great conversation starter when placed on your coffee table or in your bathroom... just check for missing pages every now and then. ;-) 

It's time to fix the embarrassing mistakes you've been (unknowingly) making your entire life!
