520    In Making Sense, David Crystal confronts the foe of many: 
       grammar. Once taught relentlessly to all students in the 
       English-speaking world, grammar disappeared from most 
       school curricula, so that terms such as "preposition" and 
       "conjunction" now often confound children and adults 
       alike. Explaining the nuts and bolts of grammar presents a
       special challenge, because - far more than is the case 
       with spelling and punctuation - the subject is burdened 
       with a centuries-old history of educational practice that 
       many will recall as anything but glamorous. One of the 
       world's foremost authorities on the English language, 
       Crystal sets out to rid grammar of its undeserved 
       reputation as a dry and intimidating subject, pointing out
       how essential grammar is to clear and effective speech and
       writing. He moves briskly through the stages by which 
       children acquire grammar, along the way demystifying 
       grammar's rules and irregularities and showing us how to 
       navigate its snares and pitfalls. He offers the 
       fascinating history of grammar, explaining how it has 
       evolved from the first grammarians in ancient Greece to 
       our 21st century digital environment of blogging, emailing,
       and texting. Many find grammar to be a daunting subject, 
       but in this breezy, entertaining book, Crystal proves that
       grammar doesn't need to make us uneasy-we can all make 
       sense of how we make sense.
