While I abhor the misuse of apostrophes as much as the next guy, I don't bear the same indignation over the vernacular use of language, as Yeager does. Casual use of English doesn't always imply the speaker is an uneducated low-brow, as the tone of his book would lead you to believe.

Sure, there are some egregious examples -- using "should of" in place of "should have", for instance, makes me wince -- but many of his peeves are simply common, idiosyncratic usages that aren't all that offensive.

So I wouldn't recommend this book as a "how-not-to" reference for writing, because I think many of its examples are far too restrictive and petty. But it might come in handy as a way to prevent yourself from slipping into habitual, sloppy writing or speaking.
