Logic, Grammar and Rhetoric (Second Edition)

1. On a first pass, read in the order “grammar—logic—rhetoric” to build a three-layer awareness of checking
2. After each chapter, take a passage you have written, check it item by item against the book, and mark the errors
3. Cover the answers in the examples and revise them yourself first, then compare analyses—more effective than reading conclusions directly
4. No need to read straight through; use it as a reference and, when writing stalls, look up the three problem types: “doesn’t work,” “isn’t right,” “isn’t good”
