Hardcover. Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Fair. The American language has changed since Modern American Usage was first published in 1966, but many usage manuals still focus on describing these changes rather than prescribing the rules that help us understand them. This revised edition brings back into use the one American manual that unashamedly declares that we should all aspire to be best in our language - which is often the simplest. The convenient alphabetical format of Modern American Usage - along with hundreds of cross-references - allows the reader to zero in on troubling words & phrases without having to know whether the problem is one of grammar, style, or syntax. The careful writer will learn how to sidestep the vague, the wordy, the counterfeit, the technical, & the pedantic. With verve & eloquence, the author of the revised edition fends off such guff as "valid priorities," "hands-on agendas," "closure," & all that is "basically viable." He takes account of a generation of changes in American idiom & of attempts to reform the use of pronouns, titles, & phrases to fit shifting ideas of social justice. The result is a book that speaks with easy learning & humor, & will prove valuable for both the experienced writer & the newcomer to our language. Due to age and/or environmental conditions, the pages of this book have darkened. Former library book. Foxing is present on one or more pages. Moderate edgewear on the boards.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. A classic since its first edition in 1966, Modern American Usage has been called a book that "every literate American ought to read." This one-volume course in good writing brims with helpful answers?large and small?for readers who want to use English clearly, naturally, and correctly. Alphabetical for easy consulting (and full of cross-references), the book carries the reader to the entry that explains a troublesome word or phrase?and shows how to use or avoid it. Every page offers natural ways to avoid saying or writing the vague, the long-winded, the needlessly technical, and the hopelessly stale. With verve and eloquence, Erik Wensberg spears the empty words that clog clear thought?"impact," "frustrated," "basically," and many more?and offers us good English words that are definite and have more life. Trade edition. This is a used book. Pages are clean and bright with no markings, notes, or highlighting. Page edges show light foxing. Covers show only minor shelf wear; front panel shows a crease. No owner's marks or bookplates, not ex-library. Binding is tight and square. Corners slightly bumped. An excellent reading copy.
