About this title

Synopsis

Over 1000 Mistakes Corrected. Unknown is a nineteenth-century pocket manual devoted to improving spoken and written English. Unknown author provides a practical compendium of rules for capitalization, syllabification, hyphenation, spelling, noun gender, pluralization, verb forms, participles, pronouns, negatives, adverbs, and punctuation. The work also includes extended sections on punctuation usage, with concise guidelines for commas, semicolons, colons, dashes, and quotation marks, as well as a lengthy treatment of common errors and misuses in daily speech and writing. It features explanations of Latin and French words and phrases frequently appearing in newspapers, reviews, and books, and offers guidelines for composing for the press, including forms of articles across newspaper departments. The volume aims to help readers speak and write more correctly and elegantly, presenting hundreds of examples and cautions drawn from everyday usage. Although now in public-domain form, it preserves a window into mid-19th-century pedagogy regarding language, style, and the standard of correctness.
