Start having fun while improving your grammar with this witty and
informative card game for language lovers, which is just as
delightful in person or over video chat--based on the New York
Times bestseller Dreyer's English. Whats' wrong with this sentence?
If that misplaced apostrophe flew right up your nose, this is the
game for you. Based on the New York Times bestseller by Random
House's copy chief Benjamin Dreyer, STET! will help you sharpen
those language skills or give you a reason to show them off (you
know who you are). There are 100 entertaining sentences waiting
 for you, the copyeditor, to correct--or, alternatively, to STET. The
first person to spot the error, or else call out "STET!" (a copyeditor's
term that means "let it stand") if there is no error, gets the card.
There are two ways to play: compete for points in a straightforward
grammar game, or play with style and syntax and whip the author's
sentences into splendid shape. The person with the most cards at the
end of the game wins! It's perfect for every level of writer, from
high school students wanting to brush up before a test to co-workers
looking for an engaging ice-breaker. With STET!, English has never
been more stylish.
