"looks at some of the more confusing aspects of grammar, vocabulary and punctuation, cutting through the extraneous to what really matters. It also considers where we are now, appraising (and sometimes praising) the invention of new words and expressions (IMHO, AYATMTB) and deploring some others (pescatarian, sharents). Packed with up-to-the-minute examples showing where to place those apostrophes and what on earth a transitive verb is, it is in turns an explanation of the rules, a rant against jargon, gobbledygook and other modern horrors, and a celebration of the inventiveness of today's language-makers"--Back cover.
