iPlans a Dictionary of Good Grammar
Lincoln Neb To do with grammar what dictionary writers have done with words is the idea behind a book written by Maurice H Weseen associate professor of English in the University of Nebraska He has tried to make correct grammatical usage as easy as correct word usage Alphabetizing the stumbling blocks in English Professor Weseen has taken the most accepted terminology In an effort to aid in standardization of English which he says can be accomplished only through a long and tedious process of elimination and survival The material for his latest book Crowell s Dictionary of English Grammar was gathered during 12 years as an Instructor of English in down State college and at the University of Nebraska He drew the illustrations from everyday speech and writing Quotations from Shakespeare and Milton often are of little value to the person who seeks to settle in his own mind some doubtful or disputed point of usage with reference to a practical problem of today For that reason I have emphasized American usage both in the giving of examples and in the citing of authorities and have referred only incidentally to English usage for purposes of comparison
