Book Synopsis

'In every sense, a good word guide' Times Educational Supplement

'This intelligent guide is an essential addition to the bookshelves of all readers and writers' Good Book Guide

Our language is changing faster than ever before. Modern communications are breaking down distinctions between formal and informal English, raising ever more questions as to how to speak and write correctly.

This fully updated edition of the bestselling Good Word Guide offers information and advice on spelling, grammar, punctuation, pronunciation, confusables and the latest buzzwords and provides clear, straightforward answers to everyday language problems. This edition contains a new feature: 'Your Turn' sections - new interactive quizzes for the reader to test their own knowledge of grammar, plain English, punctuation, spelling and usage - a perfect resource for language courses.

Endorsed by the Plain Language Commission.

Review Quotes

"English, with its often fiendish spelling, numerous homophones and homogaphs, and regional variation, can have even the most experienced writer (whether native or not) insecure. Thankfully, volumes such as The Good Word Guide are there to offer guidance...the layout of this book is very clear, making consultation very easy. The beauty of this reference work is certainly its ease of use and the fact that, while being comprehensive, it remains compact...for those needing a good, authoritative, handy reference work on how to write, The Good Word Guide will certainly be helpful." --Reference Reviews
