Good Word Guide

Our language is changing faster than ever before, thanks to the
influence of the media, e-mail, the Internet and text messaging. Modern
communications are breaking down distinctions between formal and
informal English, raising ever more questions as to how to speak and
write correctly.

This fully updated edition of the bestselling Good Word Guide offers information and advice on spelling, grammar, punctuation, pronunciation, confusables and the latest buzzwords, and provides clear, straightforward answers to everyday language problems.

With a foreword by Martin Cutts, Research Director, Plain Language Commission.
