Overview:

Can you spot the mistake in the following sentence: What's the chances of a manned mission to Mars? It could be a problem with apostrophes or a missing article, or maybe it just doesn't make sense. It could be there's a punctuation mark missing or a spelling mistake, or perhaps the words used don't agree: the verb is singular but the noun is plural. What do you think? Not sure? You need this book. Inside you will find 60 examples of incorrect English, including the one above, adapted from genuine mistakes published in newspaper and magazine articles, advertisements, Web sites, and leaflets. Each example has one mistake. Your task is to find it and say what kind of mistake it is, then write the corrected version. In the process you will improve your written English by learning to identify the common mistakes that professional writers make. Includes our exclusive a-z of english grammar words. This version is the first release on CNET Download.com.
