Course Description
This seminar presents up-to-date solutions to the most prevalent grammar problems found in corporate America today. This fun, fast-paced, thought-provoking seminar is for everyone who wants to brush up on grammar skills—from entry-level employees to senior management. Never waste time again by asking, “Have I said it correctly? Is it ‘who’ or ‘whom’?
