Thin Volume Fills Gaps,

This review is from: The American Heritage Book of English Usage: A Practical and Authoritative Guide to Contemporary English (Paperback)
Though not as extensive - or as scholarly - as Merriam Webster's "English Usage Dictionary," this little book has often helped me explain thorny contemporary usage problems to my advanced ESL students. For example, a student came to me with the lyrics "Hadn't a been for..." and asked me to explain the usage of "hadn't have." None of my other books addressed this issue. (If you're not sure, see page 39.)

This review is from: The American Heritage Book of English Usage: A Practical and Authoritative Guide to Contemporary English (Paperback)
This is a good grammer book for anyone who like to read or write in english. There are rules which should be followed. However, this one don't work good for students.
