(John) The Comic English Grammar: A New and Facetious Introduction to the English Tongue Produced by Chris Curnow and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net (This file was produced from images generously made available by The Internet Archive.) "The Comic English Grammar: A New and Facetious Introduction to the English Tongue" is a humorous take on English grammar written in the early 19th century. The treatise aims to make the often dry subject of grammar entertaining and accessible, employing comedy and satire to both teach and critique the English language's peculiarities. The beginning of the book lays out the author's intentions and the rationale behind a comedic approach to grammar. The author, known for also penning the "Comic Latin Grammar," seeks to engage readers by highlighting the absurdities and mistakes prevalent in everyday English, illustrating these with comical examples and illustrations. The preface discusses the author’s desire to improve language usage among the masses while poking fun at the way English is often spoken in humorous, incorrect forms, setting a lighthearted tone for the sections that follow.
