About This Book
This work collects and corrects common faults in everyday English usage, addressing errors of grammar, word choice, metaphor, pronunciation, and orthography. Entries are presented in a miscellaneous, user-friendly format that explains typical misapplications, offers corrections, and gives brief justifications or pronunciations when needed. Intended for readers who lack formal grammatical training or who speak carelessly, it aims to improve ordinary conversation and correspondence by providing practical, immediate remedies rather than systematic grammatical theory. The tone is corrective and accessible, emphasizing clarity and correctness in ordinary expression.
