What
not to write - a guide to the dos and don'ts of good
English
by Kay Sayce
An
invaluable, entertaining and information-packed A
to Z guide that answers all those questions you might
hear one person asking another in an office, such
as:
- Is it ‘a hotel’ or ‘an hotel’?
- What are split infinitives, and should you avoid
them?
- Do you know when to use ‘that’ or ‘which’?
- Is a semi-colon like a comma? When do you use a
colon?
- It’s website? Its website?
- Where do you put the apostrophe?
- They say don’t use clichés, but what
are clichés?
- Is it ‘between you and me’ or ‘between
you and I’?
- What happens when you have brackets inside brackets?
Compiled on the basis of long experience in helping
people produce documents written in good English,
with the underlying message that simple English is
the best English.
