DESCRIPTION
Updated and expanded from one of the most popular grammar sites on
the web, this book provides a modern guide to English usage for the
21st century. With topics arranged alphabetically and written in an
enjoyable and readable tone, The English Language: A User's Guide
will help students and writers understand the nature of the
language, explaining the 'why' of the rules as well as what
constitutes good grammar and style. Going beyond the prescriptive
wrong /right examples, Jack Lynch includes examples of weak/strong,
good/better, disputed/preferred, and informal/formal usage.
