Garner's Modern American Usage - ONLY TO ORDER 4-6 WEEKS

Since first appearing in 1998, Garner's Modern American Usage has established itself as the preeminent guide to the effective use of the English language. Brimming with witty, erudite essays on troublesome words and phrases, GMAU authoritatively shows how to avoid the countless pitfalls that await unwary writers and speakers--whether the issues relate to grammar, punctuation, word choice, or pronunciation. A new feature of this third edition is Garner's "Language-Change Index," which registers where each disputed usage falls on a five-stage continuum from nonacceptability to acceptability.
