Publisher's Synopsis
"Current English Usage" provides an easy work of reference for those who wish to write good English, whether as their mother tongue or as a second or foreign language. The entries, arranged alphabetically and with extensive cross-referencing, deal with points of grammar, punctuation, style, idiom, spelling and modern usage. The examples, including many drawn from newspapers show how everyday modern English should be used. This edition is a completely updated and revised version of the classic reference work by Dr Frederick Wood.
