Provides a new A - Z reference to English usage for the 21st century. Its advice draws on a wealth of recent research and data from very large corpora of
American and British English - illuminating their many divergences and also points of convergence on which international English can be based. The book
comprises more than 4,000 points of word meaning, spelling, grammar and punctuation, and larger issues of inclusive language, and effective writing and
argument. It also provides guidance on grammatical terminology, and covers topics in electronic communication and the internet. The discussion notes the
major dictionaries, grammars and usage books in the USA, UK, Canada and Australia, allowing readers to calibrate their own practices as required.
