Grammar Zone is an arena where modern grammarians meet daily to discuss English usage. It pays a meticulous attention on the way English words are used. This blog, without any doubt, is an avenue for all speakers of English (most especially those who speak English as a Second Language) to polish up their grammar and to also advance their knowledge of the language.

Better the devil you kinow.......
Today's Idiom: better the devil you know than the devil you don't.
Meaning: It is sometime wise to stay in a bad situation and deal with it than to attempt to jump into a new situation which may latter be much worse than the former one.
General Notes: It is wrong to render the idiom as: 'better the
devil you know than the ANGEL you don't.' It is, however
correct if you only stop at saying 'better the devil you know.'
