Even Kokey took the book to bed with him.
If my jock brother asked to borrow this; and if he and my mom (who doesn’t like to read books) shared the content between them, laughing over common mistakes; and if he passed it around to his basketball team mates; and the team mates who read less than he does actually flipped pages and learned something, why didn’t I declare this book my best read of 2009?
Probably the cover, which is unbelievably boring, looking like a photocopier user manual.
Fluent in English? Think you’re smart? Tsk, tsk—You’re guilty of making the biggest mistake of all.
Of over 90 million Filipinos in the country, I wonder who can claim not to have been guilty of at least one of the 284 mistakes listed here? You know you’re Pinoy if salvage to you is a equivalent to a horrible crime or if sauna is saw-na. So who’s your presidentiable?
From spelling errors to mispronunciation, from wrong plural forms to Filipinisms, from brand names used as generic names to misused words, this pocket-sized guide can save you a lot of embarrassment.

Hi,
Where did you buy this book? I’m interested to read it too. Also, do happen to be an acquaintance or friend of Elizabeth P. Ong?
Thanks!

Hi, Doti. I got this book at Powerbooks – Greenbelt (P140). I haven’t met the author, which is good–or else I’d be wary about blogging about the book. =D
Thanks for reading my post!

I know someone whose name is similar with the book’s author… She’s also a writer but I’m not sure if she wrote that book. I’ll ask her. If she is, then I’m sure she’ll like your review of her book. :p
