Stet!

Looking for a game that’ll please the language lovers in your life? Then consider Stet! It’s a spinoff of Benjamin Dreyer’s 2019 book, Dreyer’s English. Dreyer, the copy chief at Random House, has worked with numerous authors, including acclaimed novelist Elizabeth Strout. In the book, which is subtitled An Utterly Correct Guide to Clarity and Style, he distills a lifetime of editorial experience into amusing, memorable examples. That witty tone continues in Stet! (editor-speak for "let it stand"), where players examine sentences divided into two categories: grammar and style. Some contain outright errors, which it’s your job to identify and fix. Occasionally, however, there are no errors. In that case, simply say “Stet!” in, as the instructions put it, “a decorous yet uncompromising tone.”
