Synopsis
Updated and expanded from one of the most popular grammar sites on the web, this book provides a modern guide to English usage for the 21st century. With topics arranged alphabetically and written in an enjoyable and readable tone, The English Language: A User’s Guide will help students and writers understand the nature of the language, explaining the 'why' of the rules as well as what constitutes good grammar and style. Going beyond the prescriptive wrong /right examples, Jack Lynch includes examples of weak/strong, good/better, disputed/preferred, and informal/formal usage.

Review
Anyone who spends time at all reading or writing, whether for purpose or pleasure, will delight in The English Language: A Users Guide. Lynch s book is not just informative and gracefully written but also it s downright fun to read. I learned more in ten minutes grazing Lynch s book than I would have in an hour plodding through just about any other writers guide, plus I found myself laughing out loud in the process! It s a pleasure to recommend this wonderful book. --James Lake, Louisiana State University
