What some people have to say about the one and only Prepositionary!

“Many times one preposition might seem logically just as right as another. And it is only that tyrannical, capricious, utterly incalculable thing, idiomatic usage, which has decreed that this preposition must be used in the case, and that in another...”

Logan Pearsall Smith - “Words and Idioms”


"Well, turning to The Writer's Guide to Prepositions, I think it is a 'heluva' good idea... I congratulate you on an ambitious, interesting, invaluable project.

Jack Mcclelland, Legendary Canadian Publisher


“Prepositions... cause more difficulty... than any other aspect of the English language.”

J.B. Heaton - “Prepositions and Adverbial Particles”


“No parts of speech must be used more exactly than connectives (prepositions)...”

R. Voorhees - “Handbook of Prepositions”


“The proper preposition is a matter of idiom; and idioms, if they do not come “naturally”, must either be learned or looked up.”

Theodore M. Bernstein - “The Careful Writer”


"Prepositions are very confusing for someone learning English, because they are not used in the same way in different languages. This practical guide is a great help because of the abundance of concrete examples. The way that the entries are structured makes it easy to find exactly which preposition to use in the sentence you are writing."

B. Moulin, Ph.D., Professor, Laval University

 

"The Writer's Guide to Prepositions is a natural complement to any word processor. As a technical writer, interpreter and translator, I found it to be an excellent handy tool in my activities."

John Savine


"Not only will second-language learners find the Prepositionary an invaluable resource, English speakers will consult this cleverly-designed guide to help them convey accurately the meaning they intend. The examples are drawn from authoritative sources - current and canon: magazines, newspapers, dictionaries, and such authors as Lewis Thomas, Scott Fitzgerald, Dickens, Shakespeare and Isaac Azimov."

Dr. Florence Stevens, Concordia University


"In my view this reference guide would be invaluable for those millions of individuals who wish to learn English and speak it correctly."

Keung Chang, Ph.D., South Korea
