Grammar.

Some grammar rules (and embarrassing mistakes!) transcend the uniqueness of different regions and style guides. This new International Grammar section by OnlineBookClub.org ultimately identifies those rules thus providing a simple, flexible rule-set, respecting the differences between regions and style guides. You can feel free to ask general questions about spelling and grammar. You can also provide example sentences for other members to proofread and inform you of any grammar mistakes.

Hello.
Is this sentence grammatically correct?

"Finally, the number of pages in the book are one-hundred-and-eighty-four"
"Regular reading improves your grammar."

No, it is not. It should say, "There are 184 pages in the book." Additionally, you don't spell out large numbers.
Life without a good book is something MrsCatInTheHat cannot imagine.
