  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.
