A revised and updated edition of the iconic grammar guide for the 21st century. In this expanded and updated edition of Woe Is I, former editor at The New York Times Book Review Patricia T. O'Conner unties the knottiest grammar tangles with the same insight and humor that have charmed and enlightened readers of previous editions for years. With fresh insights into the rights, wrongs, and maybes of English grammar and usage, O'Conner offers in Woe Is I down-to-earth explanations and plain-English solutions to the language mysteries that bedevil all of us. "Books about English grammar and usage are... never content with the status quo," O'Conner writes. "That's because English is not a stay-put language. It's always changing--expanding here, shrinking there, trying on new things, casting off old ones... Time doesn't stand still and neither does language." In this fourth edition, O'Conner explains how the usage of an array of words has evolved. For example, the once-shunned "they," "them," and "their" for an unknown somebody is now acceptable. And the battle between "who" and "whom" has just about been won, O'Conner says (hint: It wasn't by "whom"). Then there's the use of "taller than me" in simple comparisons, instead of the ramrod-stiff "taller than I." "May" and "might," "use to" and "used to," abbreviations that use periods and those that don't, and the evolving definition of "unique" are all explained here by O'Conner. The result is an engaging, up-to-date and jargon-free guide to every reader's questions about grammar, style, and usage for the 21st century.Binding Type: Paperback

Sleeves are too short
Size: Large, Color: Black
Good quality about as thick as heavy t shirt. The only issue is the sleeves are a tad short which is a bit disappointing. Not sure I will buy this again. I’m 5-7 175 and ordered a large and it fits well. Just a smidge oversized like I prefer.

Lightweight and comfortable
Size: X-Large, Color: Black
Lightweight yet warm. Bought an XL for my husband who is 6’ 2”, weighs about 180 lbs, and has long arms. Fits a bit loose but not too big but have to size up so the length in the arms fit better. He runs warm so dislikes anything that makes him hot, so this material was great. Did not discolor or shrink in the wash, which was a bonus.

Hubby is quite happy with this hoodie
Size: X-Large, Color: Navy
We live in warmer climes, so DH wanted a pullover hoodie that was more like t-shirt material. This is fantastic- it's like a well-made t-shirt - like a thicker, better quality tee. He loves it. The fit was just right. There was no fading in the wash - I always wash clothes in cold water though, so ymmv. He was happy with the color I chose. When cool weather rolls around again, I will add some other colors to his collection - perfect lightweight pullover for him.

Soft, good fit, but pretty light so not very warm.
Size: XX-Large, Color: Black
My immediate gripe with this Hoodie is it's very light. Not gonna do a lot to keep you warm, which is what I was looking for. That said, it fits will and is pretty soft. If it lasts through being washed several times it was worth the $13.60 I paid for it. I probably should have guessed at that price that it couldn't be very heavy. I've never really understood the idea of light hoodies.
