Summary

"The Comic English Grammar: A New And Facetious Introduction To The English Tongue" by Percival Leigh is a funny instruction manual on English grammar from the 1800s. It's a mix of regular grammar lessons and jokes, designed to make learning about language fun. The book points out common errors that people make when speaking English, using funny stories and silly examples to show how ridiculous these mistakes can be. The writer says he wants to fix these errors with humor because serious grammar books haven't worked. He makes fun of language mistakes to help people learn to speak and write better by making them laugh. The beginning of the book feels light and fun, but it also teaches you a lot about grammar.
