Paperback. Condition: New. While making clear that it is possible to accept changes in spoken and written English but still use it 'at its best, clearest and most concise', this volume sets out The Times' preferences regarding elements including capitalization, hyphenation and variant spelling. Compiled as an A-Z, it also advises on terms that should be treated with caution and defines words that are easily confused. Seller Inventory # 535370
