If English is not your first language but you still write in English, you might have become as frustrated as I have with the language. I make many mistakes, simply because I do not always know the differences between correct English and my own home language.
Well, the good news is that I have found what promises to be the start of the solution to the problem in the form of a book.
The book is called ‘Teach Yourself Correct English’.
So far, it is one of the first books to get down to the good stuff without losing me in a mire of technical language terms. (Although there are some!).
If you know of similar books, please leave a note here, us non-English people appreciate all the help we can get.

Now all I have to do is figure out which bits are American English and which bits are British English, and then decide which one to choose, and then try to stick to one. Sigh.
