grammar as the total system of the language, embracing historical linguistics, phonetics, phonology, morphology and much else ... well defined and well illustrated with quotations from grammarians ancient and modern. TLS
Synopsis
English grammar has changed a great deal since the beginning of the Twentieth Century, and it is a subject that can provide a complex minefield of uncertainties within the language. This accessible and comprehensive dictionary comes to the aid of both the general reader and the student or teacher, offering straightforward and immediate A-Z access to 1,000 grammatical terms and their meanings. All the currently accepted terms of grammar are included, as well as older, traditional names, controversial new coinages, and items from the study of other languages. Concise definitions of the wider subject of linguistics, including phonetics and transformational grammar, are accompanied by examples of language in use, and frequent quotations from existing works on grammar.

Helpful Beyond English

This book was required for an introductory Latin class I took a semester ago. It proved helpful then, and is still helpful now. The ODEG is a useful tool for anyone who wishes to expand his or her knowledge of the manner in which our language functions. This book is a useful addition to a reference library, and I highly recommend it.

An easier way of checking your grammar

For a book on grammar, this one is better than most. It is not the typical text book style of presenting grammar, and it's actually easy to find the proper grammatical form necessary to make writing professional and cohesive.

I think there is a name for people who want you to believe they are a lot smarter than they are. That's the impression I get from reading the entries where I know what it is, like the past perfect on page 287. Can you imagine any reputable source giving as an example of anything, "It had been being compiled by hand"? Wow. I also think there is too much copying, which is rampant in the grammar field, and there is certainly 'jamming', as in the example just cited. This is a book you should have on your bookshelf to maybe make people believe you're smarter than you really are. Nah. Why bother? Let it go.
Sorry, Oxford. I suppose this is the flip side of playing off your name, which you have done for centuries. Maybe it's time to catch up, which in this case means to start over and try harder to get it right. And, if you don't know, just say, "I don't know" and leave it until you find out, which may take a while if it had been being compiled by hand.
