Synopsis
Should you ever split an infinitive? What's the difference between aiding and abetting? Is it barbecue, barbeque or bar-b-q? The English language is a minefield of difficulty. In this new edition of his famous book, Bill Bryson discusses the problems and offers advice on useage, using examples from recent newspapers to demonstrate his points. This new edition contains over 60% new material and a new introduction which explains how his transformation from subeditor to writer since the first edition has modified his views on language. Troublesome Words is invaluable as a reference work and thoroughly entertaining as a general read.
