spend more time writing. Not only text messages and instant messages full of emoticons and abbreviations, but also long business or personal email, comments, forums, articles written for websites. And the more we write, the more we see grow - in newspapers, on television, the Internet - the concern about the health of our language. Multiply posters for the defense of Italy, proposals for the establishment of a Board of Governors of the tongue, considerations desolate on grammatical competence pupils and even teachers , complaints of errors in spelling, syntax and logic in the themes of what was once called exams, articles up glaring failures of all candidates to positions of public officials, again because spelling errors ... The book Italian. Survival course (of which this blog is la continuazione) ha uno scopo: risolvere i dubbi della grammatica e guarirci dall’insicurezza e dal timore reverenziale nei confronti dell’italiano. Spiega regole ed eccezioni, illumina gli angoli bui evitati talvolta anche da vocabolari e manuali scolastici, si sofferma sugli errori più comuni con esempi reali e quotidiani. Fa propaganda, soprattutto, a una lingua viva, ricca, chiara, precisa e dunque efficace.
Pensate di non averne bisogno?
