If you find that your new hires or your PR students need grammar
help, a new inexpensive guide with a direct approach may be what
you could use in an *orientation* or training session.
For "that/which," a new mnemonic says, "Test the word *preceding*
the that/which decision for identifying information." The full example
is at http://NewsPlace.org/guide2.html
"The Writing QuickGuide" focuses on the 10 grammar problems that
cause the most problems, including who/whom, its/it’s and hyphens.
The booklet is now only $3 and also includes a "simplified stylebook."
It even has a companion set of Web-based interactive exercises.
