In his best-selling Strictly English Simon Heffer explained how to
write and speak our language well. In Simply English he offers an
entertaining and supremely useful A-Z guide to frequent errors,
common misunderstandings and stylistic howlers. What is the
difference between amend and emend, between imply and infer, and
between uninterested and disinterested? When should one put owing
to rather than due to? Why should the temptation to write actually,
basically or at this moment in time always be strenuously resisted?
How does one use an apostrophe correctly, ensure that one
understands what alibi really means, and avoid the perils of the
double negative? With articles on everything from punctuation to
tabloid English to adverbs and adjectives, Simply English is the
essential companion for anyone who cares about the language and
wants to use it correctly.

illustrations reinforce the skills being learned.
