This is a pocket-sized, information-packed and entertaining guide
that has been 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. "What
not to Write" deals with all those awkward issues - acronyms,
ambiguity, American-English, bureaucratese, business English,
captions, cliches, grammar, hyphens, jargon, punctuation,
quotations, sexist writing, spelling, writing letters and much,
much more. Writing English should be a pleasure and although there
are rules and conventions, as this book shows, they should be used
as a foundation on which to build the confidence to explore the
richness and versatility of the language and to put the message
across, clearly and simply, in a way that will capture the reader's
attention. This handy reference book will be a vital tool for
anyone working with the written word, particularly those who write
client/company reports, theses, professional papers - students and
professionals alike will benefit from having a copy to hand.
