This is a short and easy, well-received crash course for businessmen, undergraduates, teachers and others who wish to improve their use of the English language. This lively book is also useful for those studying English as a second language. Emphasis rests on the book being a "turner-on-of-lights" rather than a structured reference work. The author includes a vigorous section on "Gas Bag English" and a chapter entitled the "Ruins of High Precision" which provides an account of the use of punctuation and vocabulary, simile and metaphor.
"Synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
