Yes, I Could Care Less by Bill Walsh
Requirements: EPUB or MOBI reader, 952kb | Retail AZW3; ePUB extracted from AZW3; MOBI converted from AZW3
Overview: In his long-awaited follow-up to Lapsing Into a Comma and The Elephants of Style, while steering readers and writers on the proper road to correct usage, Walsh cautions against slavish adherence to rules, emphasizing that the correct choice often depends on the situation. He might disagree with the AP Stylebook or Merriam-Webster, but he always backs up his preferences with logic and humor.

Walsh argues with both sides in the language wars, the sticklers and the apologists, and even with himself, over the disputed territory and ultimately over whether all this is warfare or just a big misunderstanding. Part usage manual, part confessional, and part manifesto, Yes, I Could Care Less bounces from sadomasochism to weather geekery, from "Top Chef" to Monty Python, from the chile of New Mexico to the daiquiris of Las Vegas, with Walsh’s distinctive take on the way we write and talk. Yes, I Could Care Less is a lively and often personal look at one man’s continuing journey through the obstacle course that some refer to, far too simply, as "grammar."
