Most Common Mistakes by Non-Native Speakers of English: How Not to Be Conspicuous as a Foreigner Because of One's Bad English Sergiy Zatsarynnyy

This book is a reworked compilation of the "Polishing Up English" newsletters I have been sending for over six years to employees whose native language is not English. In these newsletters, I cover common language issues for business people. In light of the many corrections I have made over the years, I came to understand that most of the mistakes non-native speakers of English make are shared, and are encountered across the board, rather than being unique and strictly personal. Some mistakes appear more often than others. These quite frequent mistakes are analyzed and included. It is important to note that these mistakes also occur in contexts common to most areas of human interaction, such as small talk, in-office conversation, business correspondence, IT, and similar communication. When you explain the correct way to spell, write, or use a certain word or expression with others, you must take into account its variations in both British and American English. This can make an issue appear even more problematic and sophisticated. I have created a compilation of these mistakes to share with everyone who wants to quickly improve their English.
