Synopsis
This fully-updated edition of the bestselling Good Word Guide offers information and advice on punctuation, pronunciation, spelling, grammar, usage and the latest buzzwords, and provides clear, straightforward answers to everyday language problems. Our language is changing faster than ever before, thanks to the influence of the media, computers, e-mail, the Internet and text messaging. Modern communications are breaking down the distinctions between formal and informal English, raising ever more questions as to how to speak and write correctly.
