Synopsis :

English may be the most widely spoken of all languages; it is also one of the most misused. Exasperated by the poor quality of written English he encounters every day, Larry Trask has set himself the task of listing and then analysing the most common slips and gaffes perpetrated by students, teachers, journalists and other professionals whose business is - theoretically, at least - words. With wit and panache he inveighs against sloppy thinking, poor grammar, clumsy style, and a host of other language sins. His book will prove essential and salutory reading for anyone who ever puts pen to paper or finger to word processor.

À propos de l?auteur: Professor Trask has taught in the School of Cognitive and Computing Science at the University of Sussex since 1988. He is the author of many books on language and lingusitics including THE PENGUIN GUIDE TO PUNCTUATION and THE PENGUIN DICTIONARY OF ENGLISH GRAMMAR.
