Description
Can anything be described as 'very real'? There are so many obstacles on the way to writing clear precise ('accurate'?) English ('english'?) that it is a wonder ('wander'?) anyone ('any one' or 'anyone'?) can be understood. Fortunately all those who have ever feared being shown up by using one of the twenty worst words and phrases to be avoided at all costs or confusing the complex with the complicated can now relax and even enjoy a trouble-shooting guide to good writing. Trask's wonderfully readable and authoritative book adjudicates on hundreds of contentious issues from politically correct language to whether to write 'napkin' or 'serviette'.
