"Do You Make These Mistakes in English?" Sherwin Cody was an American writer and entrepreneur who developed a long-running home-study course in speaking and writing with an advertisement with this title. A critic of traditional English education, Cody advocated colloquial style and grammar. He asked: - What is the reason so many of us are deficient in the use of English and find our careers stunted in consequence? - Why is it some cannot spell correctly and others cannot punctuate? - Why do so many find themselves at a loss for words to express their meaning adequately? The reason for the deficiency is clear: Most persons do not write or speak good English simply because they never formed the habit of doing so. Those who take advantage of this study gain something so priceless that it cannot be measured in terms of money. They gain the self-confidence and self-respect which this ability inspires.
