About this title

Synopsis

The book has been praised by language experts. Each entry is presented in a much broader context than is typically the case in books that advise on English usage and style. It is critically acclaimed by the linguist Geoffrey Pullum, who calls it "the best usage book I know of... utterly wonderful." The book is known for its historical scholarship, analysis, use of examples, and descriptive approach. It has more than 2,300 entries, and includes more than 20,000 quotations from prominent writers.
