Fowler's Dictionary of Modern English Usage is the world-famous guide to English usage, loved and used by writers, editors, and anyone who values correct English since it first appeared in 1926. Fowler's gives comprehensive and practical advice on complex points of grammar, syntax, punctuation, style, and word choice. Not dumbed-down or needlessly updated for contemporary trends or fashionable thinking, this is a classic 1960s edition untainted by such recent currents.
