Is "Harbrace" a software or just a book? If it is also a soft, please give me the link to download it (if it is free).
thnx
A Harbrace is short for the "Harbrace Handbook". It is a reference guide and textbook for student writers and teachers. Each chapter deals with a certain aspect of the English language and its correct usage. The chapters are labeled with a number (and within them each section with a letter) corresponding to what aspect it addresses. When you write a paper and the teacher grades it, they will mark the grammatical mistakes with the number and letter which points to where you can find the correct usage (many times I received papers back with lots of red markings on it).
There are other handbooks out there detailing proper English grammar but the Harbrace was one with which quite a few of us grew up. I think with the internationalization of business (brought on in large part by the Internet), most people understand that not everyone speaks English and the majority will give grammatical mistakes a pass when it is directly from a non-native speaker.
