Description
Plain Words first appeared in 1948. The Treasury invited Sir Ernest Gowers, a distinguished civil servant, to write it as a contribution to what they were doing to improve official English. Gowers' work is undoubtedly a classic. Not only is it elegantly and wittily written: it affords to the reader profit as well as pleasure, for it concentrates on what matters to the ordinary practitioner (1973), not only on what interests only grammarians and scholars. Chapters include: Correctness; Choice of Words; Punctuation; Specimen passages critically examined etc.
